🚢 There are many cruises to see Statue of Liberty. If you are on a budget and still want to see Statue of Liberty 🗽, do take the Free Staten Island Ferry. Take metro to Staten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal and you will see the crowd here. The ferry runs every 30 minutes. You will need to disembark once you reach the other terminal at Staten Island. 📝 Tip-going to Staten Island, stay on the right side of the ferry so that you can get to see Statue of Liberty. #newyortrip

#nyinsider #newyorkcity #unitedstates #ferry How about a free ride on the ferry combined with amazing views? I will take that any time. The Staten Island ferry is free of charge and anyone can board the ferry. The Staten Island Ferry is a free service provided by the City of New York. Be aware of scammers trying to sell tickets. The Ferry runs 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. More frequent service, (every 15 or 20 minutes,) is provided on the weekdays during the rush hours of 6:00AM- 9:30AM and 3:30PM-8:00PM, with 30-minute service to follow. On weekends, service is provided every 30 minutes on Saturdays and Sundays.

Of course you can see the Statue of Liberty from Manhattan, or sail there on a tour. However, I would prefer to take a ferry to Staten Island. Not only can I enjoy sailing past the Statue, I am also able to catch the breathtaking view of New York skyline on the way there. The Staten Island ferry is free so do not trust anyone that asks you to pay for it. The travel time in either direction between St. George (Staten Island) and Whitehall (Manhattan) is 25 minutes so you can enjoy the ferry ride in peace. Upon arrival in Staten Island, it is also worth walking around the neighbourhood before hopping back to Manhattan on another ferry. #nyinsider #newyork #ferry

One of the most recommended free things to do in New York for tourists. Great way to see statue of the liberty and the skyline of the New York City. The ferry itself is modern and clean and most of the workers on the ferry are very friendly. The boat take roughly half an hour from New York City to the Staten Island and usually there is a boat every 30 minutes. The island itself is also very beautiful. Very quite and beautiful. The day I take the boat, the weather is not very decent. It would be better for a sunny day. Everytime I visit New York City and have leisure time, I would take the boat. Worth the time every time. Highly recommended.

Near a baseball stadium looks so lovely at night peaceful and not to many people

#CanadaFlightEvent You don't have to pay to see the Statue of Liberty up close. But you should at least see it a little while you're here. If you do, you can take the free ferry to Staten Island at the Whitehall Ferry Terminal. It's popular with locals for commuting, and it's also popular with tourists because it passes by the Statue of Liberty. #New YorkTravel

#nyinsider #newyorkcity #unitedstates #ferry #tripblazers #mustdo We were really happy to go on the Staten Island ferry and would certainly recommend this to you all. The service is free ... believe it or not. Travel time in either direction between St. George and Whitehall is approximately 25 minutes. You cross from one point to another and get to see the Statue of Liberty. The highlight for us was seeing the London skyline (last photo) in the evening. Beautiful lights, tall beautiful buildings and breathtaking views ✨️ 😍 ❤️ The Staten Island ferry is a commuter ferry; however, no one says you can’t go on it for pure photography reasons. And that we sure did.
