USA Statue of Liberty from water, New York City
A very nice spot to see Lady Liberty ("Statue of Liberty National Monument") from up close. Either use a water taxi directly to the island or Staten Island / New Jersey Ferry to pass the island. Another great alternative is a helicopter ride which is available in the south of Manhattan (simply search for "New York Helicopter Tours"). Drones etc. are not allowed in this region so this is your only option to get a different perspective.
Photography Tips
The best way to get this view, without visiting Liberty Island, is the use of a New York Watertaxi. There are several piers along Manhattan, where they stop. It's not expensive and furthermore you'll get some amazing views on the Manhattan Skyline. Just stand on the upper deck of the watertaxi.
Travel Information
Use a map to find the landing piers. It's easy to reach them.
