Are you scared of heights? What about small spaces? No? Then, for the first time in eight
years, you can climb the 354 narrow steps to the top of the Statue of Liberty in New York
City.
Before you read:
☺ What´s the most famous statue in your country? Describe it.
It´s the most famous statue in the world. Until 2001, you could
climb inside the Statue of Liberty up a very narrow spiral
staircase. It was a long, hot climb. At the top, you were inside the
crown.
September 11, 2001
But in 2001, New York changed forever. Terrorists flew planes
into the World Trade Center. The authorities were afraid there
would be more attacks on New York´s high buildings and tourist
attractions. So they closed the statue´s staircase and crown.
July 4, 2009
On American Independence Day 2009,they reopened the crown. But now only 30 visitors
per hour can climb up to the crown and back down again and you have to book tickets in
advance. If you´re lucky enough to get a ticket, you can enjoy the famous view of the New
York City skyline – it´s breath-taking!
