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. Read all you need for your trip to the Statue of Liberty below.

Top Statue of Liberty and New York City Tours

New York City is full of things to do and most activities are pretty reasonable considering what you get. You can take a tour of the Met, visit the Statue of Liberty, or head to the top of One World Trade Center. Many activities, like walking around Central Park or visiting Ground Zero, are even free!

Statue of Liberty Tours

The Statue of Liberty is arguably the most recognized landmark representing the United States and what it stands for. Visiting the statue is more difficult than it seems since it is on an island! Fortunately, we run tours that let you focus on creating memories rather than the logistics of visiting important monuments!

Tours of The Met

The Metropolitan Museum of Art—or the Met for short—is undoubtedly the premiere classical gallery in NYC and one of the leading museums on Earth. It is home to statues by Bernini, paintings by New York’s own Jackson Pollock, and even an Egyptian temple commission by Emperor Augustus!

NYC Tours

New York City is home to tons of monuments from the MET to Ellis Island and Ground Zero. We offer walking tours, food tours, cultural museum tours, and even day trips to Niagara Falls, Boston, and Philadelphia. You’ve likely done our tours in Europe and now you can enjoy them at home!
