Hotels near Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
New York, NY 10004, USA
No attraction says New York like the Statue of Liberty, the 93-metre copper figure that has welcomed arrivals to the harbour since 1886. A gift from France, Lady Liberty stands on Liberty Island and is reached by ferry from Battery Park, with stops continuing to Ellis Island, the gateway through which more than twelve million immigrants once entered the United States.
Ferry tickets come in tiers: grounds access, pedestal access, or the limited crown climb up a narrow spiral staircase. The Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration is included with every ferry ticket and is genuinely moving, tracing the stories of the families who passed through its great hall.
Pro Tip: Book the crown months ahead - it sells out fast and the climb is 162 steps. Take the first ferry of the day to beat the crowds and bring ID. For a free alternative, the Staten Island Ferry passes close to the statue at no cost.
