Discover New York at your own pace
With CityPASS New York C3, you’ll have the freedom to build your itinerary starting from what you truly love: you can go up to the top of the Empire State Building to see Manhattan from above, enter the Metropolitan Museum of Art and get lost among five thousand years of art history, or choose the 9/11 Memorial Museum to experience one of the most powerful and essential visits New York can offer. The catalog includes some of the city’s most visited attractions, and you can decide which three deserve a place in your trip, with no time constraints and no fixed routes, and with sixty days of flexibility from the activation of your first entry.
How the New York Citypass C3 works
The purchase is completed online in a very short time: once finished, you’ll receive a digital voucher on your smartphone, ready to use without needing to print anything or pick up any physical document on site. The countdown starts from the first attraction you choose to visit, giving you full freedom to organize the following days without pressure. At the entrance of each of the three experiences, you simply show the QR code and go straight in, without passing through the ticket counters. For those who want to add experiences not covered by the pass to their itinerary, it is always possible to purchase New York attraction tickets in advance online, in just a few clicks on our website.
Attractions included in the New York Citypass C3
The C3 Citypass New York offers a select list of attractions from which to choose your three favorite experiences, all located in the heart of Manhattan and each capable of telling the story of a city unlike any other.
Empire State Building
The observatory on the 86th floor will remain one of the most breathtaking views in the world: Manhattan stretches out in every direction, with Midtown’s skyline standing out against the sky and the Hudson River shining to the west. At sunset, the city lights gradually turn on, transforming every photograph into something impossible to forget.
American Museum of Natural History
One of the largest and richest museums on the planet, capable of keeping visitors engaged for hours with its dinosaurs, meteorites, and reconstructions of Earth’s most remote ecosystems. The Rose Center for Earth and Space completes the experience with a show about the universe that leaves even the most seasoned visitors speechless.
9/11 Memorial Museum
The museum stands exactly where the Twin Towers once were and tells the story of September 11, 2001 with a depth and sensitivity that no other place in the world could match. A necessary visit—quiet, powerful, and capable of conveying the most authentic sense of this city.
Top of the Rock — Rockefeller Center
The observation deck at Rockefeller Center offers something that the Empire State Building cannot: the chance to see the Empire State Building itself in the skyline, with Central Park behind you and Lower Manhattan in front of you. A different perspective on the same city, equally extraordinary.
If you’re building a trip that also includes guided experiences, the site offers organized tours of New York to discover the Big Apple with guides who know it in every corner and every story.
Why choose the New York C3 Citypass
The logic of the CityPASS New York C3 is simple and straightforward: three of Manhattan’s most visited attractions at a lower price than buying individual tickets, with real savings that become noticeable already by the second experience. But the most immediate advantage is not financial—it is the ability to arrive in New York with everything already decided, without ticket lines, without pressured price comparisons, and without the feeling of having to optimize every hour of your stay. Choose three experiences, fully enjoy them, and the rest of your time becomes truly yours.
