Governors Island

Governors Island featuring a bay or harbor and heritage architecture
From 2011: it's always a good day in my city that ends with some view of the Statue of Liberty at dusk...
Castle William at Governors Island-just a shirt ferry ride from lower Manhattan
NYC is an incredible destination for solo female travelers. Not only is it walkable, it's one of the safest large cities in the US, and can be extremely budget-friendly. One inexpensive thing to do: take the $2 ferry to the car-free Governors Island and renting a bike or walking to take in gorgeous skyline views from a bar or one of the playful parks.
