New York City Lower Manhattan Walking Tour and Statue of Liberty in One Day
We will start our morning with a a panoramic view of the key sites of in Lower Manhattan. This area includes the part of the city built after the Dutch purchased the island all the way to Ground Zero, a vital place of pilgrimage for any tourist. We will get a complete account of the September 11 attacks. You will be able to take photos of the two fountains that occupy the former space of the Twin Towers and are today part of the 9/11 Memorial. We’ll also get to know the historic heart of Manhattan’s Financial District: Wall Street, home to the New York Stock Exchange. Wall Street’s architecture is rooted in the Gilded Age, although there are also some Art Deco influences in the neighborhood. The most important buildings in the area are the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall, built at the beginning of the 19th century in the Greek Revival style.
Later, we will take a ferry to the Statue of Liberty at Liberty Island where you can get up close to the stat- ue, and then on to Ellis Island, where families and individuals celebrate and honor those members of their family who made the arduous journey to begin a new life in the United States. Your ticket includes visit to the Pedestal.
