Statue of Liberty from Governors Island (1)🌟
🎢🍃Governors Island! How to Get to the Island Ferry: Take the Governors Island Ferry from Manhattan at 10 South Street. The round - trip ticket is 5 per person, and it's free to get on the island before 11 a.m. on weekends. 🎢🍃The ferry ride takes about five minutes, making it super convenient. (I found that no one checked tickets after 11 a.m. either...) 🚢 NYC Ferry: You can also take the NYC Ferry from Pier 11/Wall Street to Yankee Pier on Governors Island. The one - way fare is 4. Personally, I recommend the Governors Island Ferry, which is larger and has a more convenient pier for exploring the island. 🚤 🎢🍃Recommended Tourist Route Welcome Center: As soon as you get off the ferry, head here to pick up a map. #NewYork 🗽
