Statue of Liberty
I was always drawn to the Statue of Liberty as a kid. Finally, I got to see it while also being on a fun ferry ride! Getting a view of the Liberty statue was fairly easy and one of the first things I did in NYC. Took a subway to South Ferry, the southernmost part of Manhattan and also the last stop of Subway Line 1. From my place, I had access to Subway line 2 and 3 to Downtown and Brooklyn so I made a train change to Subway Line 1 at 14th Street. There is a free ferry that goes to and fro to Staten Island every 25 minutes. It gets crowded though but that’s alright coz the vessel is huge and can accommodate a massive crowd of tourists. Its super organised despite being free. The journey is beautiful and you get a spectacular view of the statue. Get your spot on the deck and try to get the perfect shot. The ferry docks at Staten Island where you can just chill and enjoy the view of Manhattan across the East River. Take the ferry back and enjoy another ride clicking more pictures just in case you need to. On your way back you also get a glimpse of the Brooklyn Bridge and it looks beautiful. I just loved the ferry ride.
