Lady Liberty

New York City is also one of the most popular cities for student travel.  There are so many attractions here perfect for senior class trips as well as educational tours.  The art and history museums as well as those with a little more pop culture, Central Park, Times Square, Broadway - New York City is packed - from one bridge or tunnel to the next - with excitement, education, inspiration and awesome memory-making potential.

The Statue of Liberty is perhaps the first attraction you think of for NYC, especially if you're looking to focus on history and education.  There is so much to learn about this beautiful statue and all it represents.  Each person who visits here will undoubtedly find their own reason to be grateful that America's shores provided such hope and promise for those who found their way to them.

It's a beautiful way to start your New York City tour just as it was a meaningful beginning for so many early immigrants to the States. (Photo by Mark Heard on Flickr).
