Another French building has made it to second place: the Statue of Liberty. It was a gift from France to the USA and has stood in New York City Harbour since 1886.
It goes without saying that one of the most famous cities in the world also has one of the most famous landmarks of the world. The Statue of Liberty is not even the only landmark from New York City on this list.
But first, let’s go back to the Statue of Liberty. In Lady Liberty, a staircase leads up to her crown and the torch. From there you have an impressive view of NYC. In addition, almost all boat tours through New York City pass by the statue.
Our tip for the Statue of Liberty: we recommend that you do not drive directly to the Statue of Liberty. It’s time-consuming and you can’t see it as well from the pedestal as you can from a distance. Instead, take the free Staten Island Ferry past the statue. You’ll get the best photos.
