New York 6 day Itinerary

When you use the New York 6 day itinerary, you don’t need to think about the daily planning of your New York trip. With this sample plan for a first or second visit to New York, you can see exactly which attractions can be combined in one day. Take the Hop-on Hop-off bus, visit Times Square and Central Park and walk over the Brooklyn Bridge! You can use this sample itinerary as a starting-point for organising your trip, and ensure you don’t miss a thing.

Eric’s Tip: I recommend getting a discount pass for New York. Almost all the main attractions are included in a pass. You also end up saving a lot of money, compared to buying individual tickets. The New York Sightseeing Flex Pass is a good option for a 6 day stay. Use it to get in to attractions without having to pay anything extra on the spot!
