How to climb the crown of the Statue of Liberty<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surely if you are thinking of traveling to New York, or if you have already done so, at some point you asked yourself the question: to climb or not to climb the crown of the Statue of Liberty?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it worth it or not? It depends on the point of view from which you look at it. If you do it for the views to get from the crown, I tell you no, the same or better you get from the pedestal. But if you think about it from the side of living the experience of being inside the icon of New York, and there if you….es something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have already thought about it and have already decided to climb the crown, then stay that we start with the steps to follow to make this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25ba Did you think about a free tour to take the first contact with the city, it’s always a good idea.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    The tickets to climb the crown of the Statue of Liberty sell out quickly, so as soon as we have decided the trip, and the day that would suit us to make the tour to Liberty Island, we will have to start looking at the official website<\/a> to book our tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What we have to know first of all is that there is only one boat company that takes us to the island. Statue Cruises, the official company, is the one that allows us to buy tickets. The rest of the other Hudson River tour companies will only take us too close to the statue to take pictures, but not more than that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The same is true if we have one of the tourist passes such as the New York Pass<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, o Sightseeing Pass<\/em><\/strong>in both cases they include the visit to the island, but not the not<\/em><\/strong> the climb to the pedestal or the crown. Anyway we are fans of sightseeing passes in NY, we think they are a great help to save if you plan to visit many things. But we have a full post\u25baIs it worth buying a tourist pass?<\/a><\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

    So the first thing to do is to enter their official website<\/a>, in advance of the trip as I told you, and then start with the reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once in it, a drop-down menu will appear with the different options, in this case we are going to choose the crown reservation ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And on the next screen you will see two departure options: from New Jersey or from Manhattan (Battery Park), usually the latter is the one that fits well if you are staying in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, it is the departure option we took.<\/p>\n\n\n

    The prices for adults, children or reduced tickets and the number of people taking part in the visit will now appear on the screen. Prices for adults are u$s 24.30 for adults and u$s 12.30 for children under 12 years old.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the next step on the screen you will see a calendar with the days and times available for the visit. My advice is, if you can, that you visit it in the morning, remember that first you will visit the statue and then you will go by ferry to visit the immigration museum, the amount of people will be less and you will surely do the tours in a more leisurely and quiet way. But this is a personal opinion, and maybe it will be more comfortable for you to do it at a different time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then proceed to the payment, and that’s it!! you have your tickets to visit and climb the crown of the Statue of Liberty. You will receive the details of your purchase and an explanation of where to go and at what time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The day has come! Today you are going up to the crown of the Statue of Liberty! Remember to check the schedule and all the reservation information. Also check the weather, and remember that the island is always windy, so bring the appropriate clothing, a coat is never superfluous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You will surely arrive by subway, because it is probably the way you are getting around New York. The stop to get off is: Bowling Green. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
