The Statue of Liberty, a CityPASS run through the icons, and the Intrepid on the Hudson
A tight, icon-packed New York long weekend built around a CityPASS — the Statue of Liberty up close, the skyline from above, the Intrepid on the Hudson, and the big-hitters in between.
| Day | Where | Plan | Stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arrive NYC | Fly in (WestJet); evening in Midtown / Times Square | Manhattan |
| 2 | Downtown | Statue of Liberty (Crown Reserve) + Ellis Island; 9/11 Memorial | Manhattan |
| 3 | Skyline & Hudson | Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, Intrepid Museum | Manhattan |
| 4 | Central Park → home | Central Park & last walk; afternoon flight home | — |
The marquee morning: a Statue City Cruises ferry out to Liberty Island with Crown Reserve tickets, then Ellis Island on the way back.
The CityPASS bundles the best of the skyline — the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum — for close to half off the gate price.
A half-day aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum — an aircraft carrier moored on the Hudson, complete with a space shuttle and a Concorde.
The rest is on foot: Central Park, Times Square, and whatever Broadway, deli and skyline moments fill the gaps between the ticketed stops.
