Staten Island might be the city’s quietest borough, but it’s full of character and history. The free Staten Island Ferry runs all day and night, offering great views of the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan before docking in St. George, where 19th-century architecture meets local culture. Stop by the restored St. George Theatre, the National Lighthouse Museum, or the Staten Island Museum, which mixes natural history, art, and local exhibits. Green space is everywhere here. The Staten Island Greenbelt offers miles of trails and woodlands, and in summer, the island’s beaches are popular for kayaking and relaxing by the water. For a closer look at local history, visit the Alice Austen House, once home to one of America’s first female photographers, or explore Historic Richmond Town, a preserved village with buildings and artifacts that trace island life back to the 1600s. Staten Island also has a growing food scene, especially around St. George and Stapleton, where you’ll find local breweries and waterfront restaurants worth discovering.

Located in what was once a monastery in the village of Susch, Muzeum Susch is a place devoted to exhibiting pieces of art coming from different times, experimental presentations and performances. Most of their lineup changes in accordance with their events, but there are permanent installations such as Monika Sosnowska's "Stairs", a structure made of steel weighing one tonne and measuring 14 metres in height.

If you happen to get a bit tired of all the skiing, then you should visit Klosters sports centre and show off your ice skating skills instead. Free entry for ice skating with a valid guest card.
