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. You don’t need to know these attractions before purchasing the pass. However, almost all attractions require you to book a time slot before you visit. If you want to go on a boat tour, you have a choice between one of the Circle Line Cruises.

Did you know that the New York CityPASS entitles you to a second, same-day visit to the Empire State Building for free? Visit first during the day, then return for free at night. Your second visit is permitted within three hours of closing time. It’s a great way to view the city during the day, but also to 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 fewer choices, 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.”
