Liberty
A trip to NY wouldn’t be complete without a visit to The Statue of Liberty, probably the most recognisable symbol of the city. It’s probably smaller than you expect it’s going to be, but it’s no less impressive. Unfortunately despite getting there reasonably early in the morning, all the passes that would allow you inside the statue were already gone for the day. I think you must have to be there at opening time to stand a chance.
What I particularly enjoyed was the ferry ride that takes you over to Liberty Island, it seems designed to give you the best vantage point of the city itself, rather than just going the most direct route. This means that you can stand on the boat, look back at the financial district or over to the bridges and giggle like a schoolchild while you think about where you are.
