Day 1 Summary
Day 1 Wall Street + Statue of Liberty + World Trade Center
10 Points of interest
Kickoff your trip to the Big Apple by visiting the financial Wall Street and then take a boat ride to see the famous icon of New York: the Statue of Liberty. Continue with, of course, some shopping in the best malls and end the day paying tribute to the victims of the Twin Towers terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001.
Recommended in order to avoid long queues and ensure availability.
Finally, you could book tickets to get to the Statue of Liberty by boat. It's an amazing experience to see it from the water and then step into its island. I recommend going as early as possible or at least before 1pm so you can enjoy the Statue and Ellis Island with no rush.
Another option is to go up the One World Observatory in a different time of the day than the Empire State. This one has 2 advantages: it's the tallest building in New York and you'll get to see the city WITH the mytical Empire State included in the view.
