About this deal

Liberty State Park is located in Jersey City, just across from the Financial District and is often overlooked by visitors because it’s not in the heart of the city. Don’t make the same mistake! Rising 70 feet above sea-level, the island’s man-made hills give visitors breathtaking never-before-seen views of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor. Javits Center This exhilarating activity is not for the faint of heart but I’d be doing you a disservice if I didn’t mention it on this list. As you may know, the Staten Island Ferry is a great way to see the Statue of Liberty up close for free.

Open seasonally from May to October, Governors Islandoffers a natural retreat from the bustle of the City via 7-minute ferry from the Battery Maritime Building.

The memorial is dedicated to New Jersey’s 9/11 victims and it’s so beautifully made. Thankfully since crowds are usually kept to a minimum, you can take your time reflecting. What’s more, we saw so many folks biking around the epic esplanade, it looked like a very popular activity on Governors Island and thankfully there’s a handful of Citi Bike stations to choose from.

A new addition to one of the most iconic places in NYC, visit the Statue of Liberty Museum ,including a climb to the building’s green roof, which offers unobstructed views of Lower Manhattan and Liberty Island, including the statue herself.

Admissionis completelyfreeto all visitors. However, you need to pay the ferry ride to the island. Governors Island

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the best free things to do in New York City so there’s a good chance you’ll make the trek for yourself while visiting — I highly suggest adding a stroll through DUMBO to your itinerary because it’s an experience you won’t soon forget. You will get two very interesting viewpoints — the first being an aerial view over Chinatown and the second of the Brooklyn Bridge as you approach DUMBO. And there’s no denying that New York City is a beautiful city — thankfully there’s no shortage of spectacular New York City views from which to take in the iconic Manhattan skyline.

Empire Outlets, New York City’s only outlet shopping destination, offers incredible views of Lower Manhattan from its multilevel space and sustainable green roof in St. George, Staten Island.

The ferry departs from lower Manhattan and offers striking views of New York, so you’ll want to be as close to the edge of the ferry as possible and have your phone ready. The High Line is one of the more unique parks in New York City and goodness – this thing is just great. At the New Museumon the Bowery in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, explore cutting-edge contemporary art plus top-floor views of Lower Manhattan through the Sky Room’s floor-to-ceiling windows and wraparound terrace. Credit: New MuseumYou may have heard that Roosevelt Island is one of the best spots to see cherry blossom in NYC during the spring season. Just know that you must disembark the ferry when it reaches Staten Island and queue up to board toward Manhattan, about 90% of passengers did this during our trip. The Empire State Buildinghas been completely reimaged over the past year with a newly renovated 102nd floor observatory with 360-degree views through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Credit: Empire State Building When you reach the observatory you’ll find yourself breathless. The One World Trade Center (previously called the Freedom Tower) offers the most epic views New York City.
