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 Explorer Pass is a good option for a 6-day stay. Use it to get into attractions without having to pay anything extra on the spot! All attractions marked with an asterisk (*) are included in this pass. And to travel around the city, you can also buy a discount pass with an Unlimited MetroCard.”
