. It is from there the ships depart to the island of Liberty. In fact, there are a lot of excursions to the statue. You can choose the option with stops on Ellis Island, as well as go to the island of Freedom, walk around the statue and even ascend it.
We chose another, short version of the walk-on the boat along the harbor. It helped us to save time and avoid the crowds of tourists. Well, we decided not to ascend the statue itself for a very simple reason - we had no tickets. For example, to get to the crown, it was necessary to buy the tickets six months (!) before the visit, and for the get to other levels - to buy online tickets at least a month ago.

There were a lot of boats, everyone wants to see the
. Here's the statue! Well, what can I say? The statue is like a usual statue) Anyway, it is worth seeing in real life ;) The area around the statue was crowded. Moreover, if you wish, you can buy a helicopter trip over the statue. We turned around and went back. In the distance, you can see The Verrazano–Narrows Bridge, one of the world's largest suspension bridges with a long main span of almost 1300 meters.
The bridge is double-decked, at each level has 6 lanes for traffic of vehicles. It connects Brooklyn and Staten Island. We continued our tour around the city.
