How does the New York CityPASS work?

You can order the New York CityPASS safely and easily here.. A QR-code or a barcode will then be sent to your email, which you can show on your phone at the attractions of your choice to get in. You can also print this code if you prefer a physical pass. The pass is valid for 9 days, starting from the day of its first use.

With the New York CityPASS, you can visit 5 attractions, each attraction once. Both the Empire State Building and the American Museum of Natural History are always included in the pass. In addition, you get admission to 3 attractions of your choice. You can choose between Top of the Rock, the 9/11 Museum, the Intrepid Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, the boat tour to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and one of the Circle Line Cruises. The Landmarks Cruise and the Liberty Cruise are your options with the pass.

Did you know that New York CityPASS entitles you to a second same-day visit to Empire State Building for free? Visit first during the day and then return for free at night. Your second visit is permitted between May and August, from 7 pm until closing time. It’s a great way to view the city during the day but also admire the beautiful night lights.

Eric’s Tip: “The New York CityPASS is valid for 9 days, which is enough for your trip. With the pass, you have less choice, but you can reserve a time slot in advance for all of the included attractions. This ensures that you can always enter the attraction, even if it’s very busy. If you prefer this, then this is an ideal discount pass for you.”
