Statue of Liberty - Address & Directions

How to Get to the Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The only way to get there is the official ferry, run by Statue City Cruises. Private boats can't dock at the island.

Ferries leave from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan and Liberty State Park in Jersey City. The return ferry brings you back to the side you left from, so pick the departure point that suits the rest of your day.

Directions

Address: 1 Battery Place, New York, NY 10004
