New York attractions - Staten Island Ferry

It is said that Staten Island Ferry is one of the must-do when you visit in New York. Part of the reason is that the ferry is free of charge. So instead of paying for some cruise tours, you could just take the ferry. You could get a glimpse of Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline. Not bad at all!

To take this ferry, you just need to get to Staten Island Ferry Terminal at Lower Manhattan (if you get off from Manhattan). This terminal is very near to Battery Park, where you take a cruise to Statue of Liberty Island. Here is the terminal building:

The building has a very big signboard. You can't miss it.

I took the "Spirit of America" ferry:

I also saw another Staten Island Ferry when I was on board one.

You could see Statue of Liberty from the ferry:
