The Statue of Liberty, a frequent fixture in films, has always been a place I've longed to visit. Located on Liberty Island in New York City, the statue was a gift from the French to the Americans on the centennial of American independence, July 4, 1876. The copper statue depicts a robed goddess holding a torch in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with the American Declaration of Independence in her left. The inscription reads "JULY IV MDCCLXXVI," or July 4, 1776. One foot rests on a broken chain, symbolizing freedom from slavery. The statue's seven-pointed crown represents the seven seas or continents. Inside, a spiral staircase with 162 steps leads to the top. (Source: Wikipedia)

Travel: Take a ferry to Liberty Island. During the ferry ride to the island, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy the views of the Manhattan skyline.

In addition, there are guided tours available that last less than an hour and provide an overview of the island and the Statue of Liberty's long history. Those interested in panoramic views can join the queue to ascend to the statue's crown. However, I opted out due to the lengthy wait and instead chose to explore the grounds. For those with ample time, the climb is highly recommended, as it offers breathtaking 360-degree views of New York City.

Following the Statue of Liberty, we journey to the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, situated less than a mile north of Liberty Island. This museum serves as a valuable stop for those fascinated by New York's immigration history. Ellis Island once acted as a central hub for processing millions of immigrants seeking refuge and a fresh start in the United States. The museum resides within the island's historically significant main building, offering guided tours and showcasing photographs, artifacts, documents, videos, and interactive exhibits that capture the hopes and struggles of immigrants arriving in New York.
