All aboard! Jump on the Staten Island Ferry and experience one of the best attractions in New York and its free. From the Manhattan side the ferry can be caught at Battery Park and on the Staten Island side, at the St. George harbour, north east of the island. The views along the 5 mile journey are out of this world and many lucky visitors will experience all the great aspects of New York City in one trip. On route you get to see Governors Island , Ellis Island , the HarlemWalking Tour , the coast of Brooklyn and of course the wall poster worthy, Manhattan skyline. Also used for city residents getting to and from Manhattan, the ferries run on the hour every half hour and carry millions of people each year.

Some New York guide books class the ferry trip as one of the worlds greatest water voyages for what it offers excited sightseers and for free. It is one of the best ways to experience New York and only takes a few minutes. If you want you can take the time to explore Staten Island when you arrive at St. Georges harbour and you will not be disappointed. It is a great suburb with a feel of authentic New York and with so much to do.

So make sure the camera is ready and beware of those hot dog loving seagulls and enjoy an eye opening to one of the best cities in the world.

When near Battery Park , you can also visit the Smithsonian , Wall Street and Ground Zero . This is a great area to stay in and the views are amazing, grab a Luxury hotel like the Club Quarters Wall Street , Millenium Hilton or Ritz-Carlton New York Battery Park . .
