Statue of Liberty Ferry

The Statue of Liberty is one of America's most recognizable icons, and if you have the chance to see it, it's well worth it. However, it might be best to avoid the famous ferry that takes passengers back and forth to the statue itself. Getting up close and personal and getting inside might seem like a good time, but ticket prices are horribly overpriced for what amounts to a decent view of the city.

There are many other ways to get a good view of New York City, and even if you just want a better look at the Statue of Liberty, there's a different, free ferry ride that goes to Staten Island, designed entirely for visitors to get a good picture with Lady Liberty.
