Ferry to the Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is one of the most important tourist attractions of New York. Lady Liberty, as it is known, is the symbol of freedom that awaited European immigrants in the New World, and equal opportunities for everyone. Not in vain the vision of this impressive statue was the first thing they saw who, abandoning their homeland, came to New York Bay, from Old Europe. In fact, Ellis Island, opposite Liberty Island, was welcomed almost 12 million migrants.

The statue was restored for its centennial. Tuvioeron restoration completed on 4 July 1986, the day before there was a great celebration of reinaguración, which was discovered at the end of the new image of Lady Liberty. The original torch now exposed in the lobby of the Statue. Its reform cost almost $ 70 million.

We may also reach the Statue of Liberty by boat, viewing it from the sea and then land. To do this we take special Ferries to the Statue of Liberty out of Battery Park, in downtown Manhattan or Liberty State Park in New Jersey. By purchasing ferry tickets can also buy tickets for the Immigration Museum and the parties visited the Statue of Liberty itself. Liberty Island and Ellis Island are open to visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM except December 25. The ferry tickets are $ 12 for adults and $ 4.50 for children. We buy them at Castle Clinton National Monument in Battery Park or the Museum Building and Terminal Railroad Liberty State Park in New Jersey side.

To buy our tickets we have to keep in mind that the lines are awesome, so it is best to go early and bought tickets in aterioridad. Unfortunately, we can not always visit as closed seasonally. But the views from the viewpoint that is in the Crown, are spectacular. From this we can see the most spectacular views of Manhattan, with its famous skyline. The crown has seven points representing the seven continents, and for the face, served as a model of the sculptor's mother.
