Statue of Liberty National Monument

Historically significant place. Security is high but understandably so. Well maintained. I've visiting the place for the last 3 decades and I have to say the place gets better all the time. While the visitor load has dropped dramatically these days, I'm sure the glory days will be back soon. I would suggest taking the ferry from the New Jersey side instead of from New York. The lines are shorter and, in my humble opinion, the views are better. But please do visit, given the rich history associated with the Statue of Liberty.

The place to go in NY! When I got to see Miss Liberty, I didn’t want to leave Liberty Island anymore, it’s a great place to be. From the island there’s a beautiful view over the skyline of Manhattan, which delivers great opportunities for taking breathtaking pictures of the city. Besides you are greeted by the world’s most majestic statue, which will leave impressed, by it‘s sheer height. Love it there and can’t wait to see Miss Liberty another time. Don‘t miss out!

We visited Statue of Liberty early March, and I can tell you what a beautiful spot is this! You have a great view all over NYC! We bought our ticket in a package, with GO City, we were able to visit 7 places for one price. And the Statue of Liberty was one of them. It was very windy when we were here, but maybe that is also because it is such a small island. Even though it was windy we went inside the Statue and saw it from the inside, half way there was this spot with even a better look out over NYC! If you book early on, you can even go to the head of Liberty, but we hadn't bought that. You need to book this 6 months before you visit the Statue of Liberty, it would have been a great experience but that is for the next time. I would recommend to come in spring instead of in the winter months! We also visited the museum of the Statue of Liberty which was a great addition to the experience, because of this we knew way more about the Statue of Liberty. Overall it was amazing, if you have time please go and visit this!

Words cannot describe seeing this in person. Think about how many sets of eyes have been laid upon this powerful monument and you'll truly realize how large Lady Liberty's presence is for you and your country. I could go on and on about my trip to the island but you definitely need to see it for yourself to appreciate it. God bless the USA!

The Statue of Liberty was a joint effort between France and the United States, intended to commemorate the lasting friendship between the peoples of the two nations. The French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi created the statue itself out of sheets of hammered copper, while Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel, the man behind the famed Eiffel Tower, designed the statue’s steel framework. The Statue of Liberty was then given to the United States and erected atop an American-designed pedestal on a small island in Upper New York Bay, now known as Liberty Island, and dedicated by President Grover Cleveland in 1886. Over the years, the statue stood tall as millions of immigrants arrived in America via nearby Ellis Island; in 1986, it underwent an extensive renovation in honor of the centennial of its dedication. Today, the Statue of Liberty remains an enduring symbol of freedom and democracy, as well as one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks.nThis is wonderful place ud83dudd25ud83dudd25
