The Statue of Liberty’s crown has been a popular tourist destination offering spectacular views of New York City.
After the 9/11 attacks, the crown was closed for several years due to safety concerns. When it reopened, stricter safety regulations were implemented, including a limit on the number of visitors. While tourists can no longer lean against the windows, the experience of climbing the narrow stairs remains an iconic part of visiting the monument. Despite changes, visiting the crown continues to be a unique way to experience the landmark.
