After several delays and a lengthy closure due to the pandemic, the crown of the Statue of Liberty began receiving visitors and the National Park Service issued stringent recommendations.
The crown is only accessible by climbing 162 steps. There is no lift. The climb is tiring and not recommended for people with physical and mental conditions, such as cardiorespiratory conditions, immobility, claustrophobia, acrophobia and dizziness.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of migration, the reopening of the statue’s crown coincides with the celebration of the 136th anniversary of France’s gift to the United States.
Despite being one of the most photographed destinations in the world, visiting the crown of the Statue of Liberty, located on Ellis Island, is not for everyone.
Over the past two decades, in addition to the pandemic, a fire, various repairs and security updates have also forced access to the crown to close.
To visit the belvedere della corona it is necessary to book tickets in advance and the request is such that they will be practically sold out by the month of November. Ángela González, Voice of America, New York.
