Plan the ultimate trip to see Lady Liberty
Everything You Need to Know Before Visiting the Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty goes beyond what mortal men can describe. It’s not just a symbol of the American way, democracy, and opportunity, but a symbol of an entire era of immigration. It is weaved into the fabric of millions of families whose ancestors immigrated to the United State of America. Along with Ellis Island, it’s one of the must-visit sites that you should plan on seeing while in the United States.
We created this page to help you easily plan how to visit and learn the history behind these monuments. Since both Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty are on islands, the best way to see them is on a combined tour with pre-arranged ferry tickets.
