自由女神像耸立在曼哈顿下城的天际线上，是纽约市最引人注目的地标之一，如果不向它致意，对大苹果的访问就不完整。
Lady Liberty stands at 151 feet featuring symbolic elements such as the book she carries featuring the date of the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776), the seven points of her crown symbolizing the seven seas, the seven continents, and the rays of the sun. This gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. Each year approximately 4.4 million people visit her making it one of the most famous tourist attractions in the United States.
Whether you’re looking for a day trip out to Ellis Island and Liberty State Park for the full Statue of Liberty experience or just hoping to spy Lady Liberty and Liberty Island alongside fabulous views of the New York Harbor and the New York City skyline, here are nine great spots to catch the best views of the Statue of Liberty, by land or by sea.
1.前往一个世界天文台
如果你真的想凌驾于一切之上，一览自由女神像（以及大量其他受欢迎的旅游景点）的美景，你最好去世界贸易中心一号，这个城市最高的建筑。
From a staggering 1,776 feet above the ground, the skyscraper’s One World Observatory has stunning views of Lady Liberty and the Hudson River, not to mention great views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Financial District, and the Empire State Building, to name just a few iconic Big Apple landmarks.
The best time to visit the observatory for the most spectacular perspective of the Statue of Liberty is at sunset for out-of-this-world panoramic views.
2.到炮台去
For an unforgettable view of the statue and Ellis Island, head to The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park). Located on the southern tip of Lower Manhattan, it’s a great vantage point for taking in fabulous views of the New York Harbor, Governor’s Island, Brooklyn, the New Jersey Shore, and the Verrazano Bridge.
Not only are the views first-rate but they are free as well.
3.走过布鲁克林大桥
另一种（完全免费！）观看标志性雕像的方式是走过布鲁克林大桥。
漫步过桥本身就是一种体验，特别是如果你在清晨去看日出或正好在太阳落山的时候。但这也是一个相当惊人的方式，可以看到自由女神和自由州立公园，以及美丽的布鲁克林高地。
From the Brooklyn Bridge, one gets an incredible 360-degree view of New York City, and looking south over the water, you can see the Statue of Liberty in the distance.
4.乘坐史坦顿岛渡轮
要想近距离欣赏自由女神像的美景，而且不费吹灰之力，可以跳上斯塔滕岛渡轮。
The free trip connecting Staten Island’s St. George terminal and Manhattan’s Whitehall takes approximately half an hour, giving you just enough time to snap some excellent shots of the Statue of Liberty from the water.
An added bonus? Manhattan’s Staten Island ferry terminal is within walking distance to Castle Clinton, the departure point and ticket office for Statue City Cruises—just in case the ride makes you crave a close-up view of the statue, too.
5.在小路易斯-瓦伦蒂诺的野餐。码头和公园
小路易斯-瓦伦蒂诺码头和公园位于布鲁克林红钩区的海滨。码头和公园。这个可爱的公园是野餐的完美地点，可以一览自由女神像，还有斯塔滕岛、纽约港和总督岛的美景。
Take in a rare face-to-face view from Park-and-Pier in Red Hook with the closest front-facing view of the Statue of Liberty’s towering countenance from anywhere on land in New York.
6.参观犹太遗产博物馆
犹太遗产博物馆俯瞰着哈德逊河，离人迹罕至的地方，是观看雕像同时了解美籍犹太人文化和身份历史的绝佳地点。
7.在总督岛度过一天
这个位于纽约湾的岛屿提供了自由女神像的壮观景色，但由于其他原因，它也是访问纽约市时的一个美妙景点。
州长岛拥有历史建筑、当代艺术展览和参与各种体育活动的机会，使其成为远离大城市的绝佳（和快速！）度假场所。
带上野餐，跳上便宜的渡轮，爬上岛上的一个山顶，享受美妙的午餐，欣赏自由女神和纽约市天际线的壮丽景色。在那里，为什么不看看一些文化和体育项目呢？
8.花时间探索绿林公墓
如果你想避开争夺自由女神像照片的人群，可以去布鲁克林日落公园的绿林公墓。在这里，你可以一览无余地看到自由女神，并有机会探索纽约最有趣的历史区域之一。
A cemetery tour takes you to the resting places of such luminaries as classical composer Leonard Bernstein and Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor of the Morse Code, among others.
9.在布鲁克林高地的长廊上坐一坐（或逛一逛）。
布鲁克林高地长廊位于布鲁克林-皇后区高速公路之上，面向纽约港，是获得自由女神顶级（如果是远距离）景观的可爱方式，更不用说曼哈顿天际线和布鲁克林大桥公园的绝佳景观。
This walk in the Promenade creates that perfect, “New York City moment,” where you can see these all at once before the path leads to the waterfront. The view at night is spectacular, and the best part is the price-free!
长廊周围也有很多可看可做的事情--布鲁克林高地拥有一系列的餐饮选择和该区一些最好的褐石建筑的例子。
