Save more Money to See New York in 2014
you are planning to see good places in big apple and also want some saving, you must read my article. There are two discount passes that you can purchase before you go to New York. The New York CityPASS and, the New York Pass. With both of these passes you can visit top attractions. But which pass should you choose?
First of all it is good to know for how long you will be visiting New York and how long you wish to spend visiting attractions (and not for example cycling in Central Park). This will determine which pass is best for you. The New York CityPASS is easy to use and valid for nine days from the time of its first use. In contrast, the New York Pass is available for one, two, three, five or seven calendar days from the time of its first use.
What are top attractions includes in these passes?
Both passes are a lot cheaper than buying separate tickets for each of the attractions. If you visit the Empire State Building and the Top of the Rock and take a boat tour with the New York CityPASS then you’ll have saved a lot on the normal rates. With the New York Pass you will have saved 50% if you visit Madame Tussauds and the New York Skyride and take the Shearwater Harbor cruise. One of the great advantages of the New York CityPASS and the New York Pass is that you can skip the queues and save a lot of time. If you are in New York for only one or two days then the New York CityPASS is for you. With this pass you can visit 6 top attractions including the Top of the Rock and the Museum of Modern Art. On the other hand, the New York Pass is only profitable if you are in New York for more than three days and if you are planning to see, do and visit a lot. Because you can visit as many as 80 attractions, you are guaranteed to have a busy schedule!
The New York CityPASS and the New York Pass both include entrance to the famous sights and attractions of New York: the Empire State Building, the Top of the Rock, the Statue of Liberty and the famous museums such as the Guggenheim and the MoMa. The New York Pass also includes entrance to some of the less known attractions such as the New York Hall of Science, the Staten Island Botanical Garden and the Fraunces Tavern.
Because of this, the New York Pass is really suitable for those who have visited New York more than once.

As for pricing, considering the possibility of visiting 6 attractions in 2 days, the New York CityPASS is cheaper. But the two passes shouldn’t be compared as such as they each offer something different.
