Jersey City sits right across the water from New York City and offers some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline. It is a lively, diverse place where people from all over the world live and work.
You can visit Liberty State Park for close-up views of the Statue of Liberty, hop on a ferry to Ellis Island, or walk along the waterfront and watch boats sail by.
This huge waterfront park has wide open lawns, walking paths, and amazing views of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor.
Ferries from Jersey City carry visitors to Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants first arrived in the United States long ago.
