NORTH AMERICA NEW YORK CITY · UNITED STATES

Staten Island Ferry

A free harbour crossing with open views of the Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan.

A good reason to go

Ride between Whitehall Terminal and St. George for a close look at New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty and the skyline. The crossing takes about 25 minutes each way; treat it as public transport with a view, not a ticketed sightseeing cruise.
