The Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous symbols of New York. It represents political freedom and democracy. Located at the port of New York, it is considered the unofficial entrance to the city of New York and welcomes visitors from all over the world. Gifted to the United States by the French for the centennial of the American Revolution, the Statue of Liberty opened to the public in 1886.
To visit the Statue of Liberty, it is necessary to take the ferry from Lower Manhattan. Before boarding, it is necessary to pass rigorous checks, similar to those at the airport. If you want to visit the monument, you must undergo additional checks. Large bags, backpacks, strollers, and other items must be stored in lockers once you are on Liberty Island. It is possible to rent a locker for a couple of dollars.
