Statue of Liberty
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
Early morning on weekdays avoids crowds and gives soft light for photos; late afternoon offers warm light but ferries and island crowds increase.
Budgettips
Ferry tickets from Statue Cruises include Liberty Island access and start around $24 for adults, pedestal and crown require reserved upgrades with limited availability; Staten Island Ferry offers free distant views but does not stop at the island.
Aanbevolen voor
History buffs, Families, Photography enthusiasts, First-time visitors

Over
Korte feiten: Visitors often marvel at the statue's copper skin that has turned a striking green due to natural weathering. Standing over 300 feet tall, the statue's torch once lit the way as a beacon of hope and freedom.
Hoogtepunten: The statue's copper skin, originally a shiny brown, has turned into a unique green patina that protects the metal beneath while giving it its famous color. Every year on July 4th, the statue lights up with exactly 204 LED fixtures, creating a spectacular glow that symbolizes freedom and hope.
Insidertips
- Book pedestal or crown tickets as early as possible, crown reservations can sell out months ahead.
- Catch the first ferry from Battery Park to avoid long security lines and get calmer waters for photography.
- Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket, wind is often strong on the island and there are many stairs.
- Skip peak midday hours and consider the Staten Island Ferry if you only want skyline photos for free.
