The New York Pass

If you are visiting New York City, a great way to see the Big Apple without hurting your pockets much is to buy the New York Pass. We made use of this during our visit to the city way back in 2003. For a 3-day pass, which we paid USD 125 per adult. This year, cost of the same pass is USD 135. I'd say not much change in a span of 9 years.

The pass comes with a 176-page guidebook which has extensive details about hours of operation and directions to New York Pass attractions. It also has detailed maps and insider tips which are of great help for every tourist.
