New York City Travel Forum

I just posted a question about the City Sight tour....now I am wondering if the City Pass makes more sense. Which is better?

Thanks!

I think you have to come to your own conclusions here. City sights will let you see more of the city but I know you have to dedicate a fair amount of time to the bus to get your money's worth. On my visit I opted away from the bus tour because I felt the times of the buses were not going to let me see all of the things I wanted to see but I know people who have said to me the bus tour was the best part of their stay because they were shown a lot. I disagree with the post on your other question about the subway, it is a great way to get around NYC and I doubt whether you will need a taxi in your 2 Day stay.

We were there last June and did not purchase the City Pass, regret not doing so, went to 3 of the venues on the card, and had to wait to get in, Empire State Building and the Circle Line Ferry. These 2 entries covered the cost of the pass but we waited 1.5 hours to get up the Empire State, with the pass you miss the line.

Good Luck,
Mike

Mike's knowledge good as ever, I forgot about the queue jumping, definately worth the money paid for city pass
