Let's start our journey to visiting the Statue of Liberty. Going to Staten Island is a great experience. If you travel alone, it's better to join with the group with a tourist guide inside to maximize what you gonna see and learn. The area is so wide for you to end up going somewhere and miss the important things to see inside. Going up to crown is usually the goal of everyone.In order to get to that level needs early reservation as the management is limiting the number of people to go up. Another thing to consider is to wear your most comfortable shoes because there are so much to walk and stairs to climb...and not mentioning the lines in waiting for the boat and security checks. :-)
