Ideal for visitors aiming to explore numerous attractions within a limited timeframe since it offers the flexibility to visit as many attractions as desired during the selected number of days.

  • Go City New York Explorer Pass
  • CityPass

Which New York City Card is best for you?

If you want to see many attractions within a set number of days

If you're going for a shorter duration and want to make the most of New York City it is highly recommended to go for Go City All-Inclusive Pass or the Sightseeing Day Pass. You can choose the validity based on days, for example, if you plan to visit for 4 days and want to spend 3 days exploring everything New York City has to offer, get the 3-day card which will give you access to more than 100 attractions.

Both passes cover top attractions, but differ slightly: the Sightseeing Pass includes the 9/11 Ground Zero Walking Tour, Central Park & Bronx Zoos, and NY Aquarium, while the Go City pass includes the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Ferry, and the American Museum of Natural History.

If you want to see few top attractions on a budget

If you're planning to visit the top few attractions but want to pace it out Go City Explorer Pass or the Sightseeing Flex Pass are the best options for you. Go City Pass comes with a 30-day validity and Sightseeing Flex Pass comes with a 60-day validity after first use and you can visit any attraction from a list of 100+ options. The list includes all top attractions like the Empire State Building, Edge, One World Observatory, and more. It's 100% recommended if you want a full packaged tour of New York City and want to choose from multiple Museums, Gardens, Zoos, Landmarks, Tours, Cruises, and Experiences- These passes give you all!

If you're traveling on a budget you can also consider C3 pass which is cheaper by $5 but includes fewer attractions and Hop-On Hop-Off tours. Ideal for anyone who’s looking for a simple and uncomplicated pass.

Edge

If you're looking for flexibility

If you want to explore the city at your own pace CityPass is perfect. It comes with a 9-day validity after first use and you can choose any of the attractions from the list of 10 attractions. There are 3 attractions and 5 attraction passes to choose from, 2 attractions being fixed for the 5 attraction pass. Highly recommended if you're someone who loves taking it slow and wants to cover limited and top attractions during your visit. Compared to other attraction-based passes, CityPass has a shorter validity, includes fewer but all top attractions, and is $23 cheaper.

If you want to go for more attractions to explore as per your flexibility you can consider Go City Explorer Pass or the Sightseeing Flex Pass since they come with a list of 100+ attractions to choose from and longer validity.
