How the New York Pass by Go City Works
Choose online the number of days you want to dedicate to New York, complete your purchase in just a few minutes, and receive a digital voucher directly on your smartphone, ready to use, with no need to print anything or pick up documents on-site. The countdown of your days starts with your first visit to an attraction in the catalog, not from the purchase date: you can arrive in the city, get settled, and start exploring only when you are ready. At the entrance, show the QR code and enter without stopping at the ticket counters.
One detail that makes a difference: the validity period is counted in calendar days, so each day ends at midnight and not 24 hours after the first use. For this reason, it is best to activate the pass in the morning to make the most of the first day. With the official Go City app, also available in Italian, you can manage your pass, check maps and opening hours, and reserve time slots for attractions that require them. For experiences not included in the catalog, such as the MET, you can purchase individual attraction tickets in advance through our website.
How Much Does It Cost: Prices by Number of Days
The price of the New York Pass increases with the number of days selected and remains much lower than the total cost of individual admissions. The table shows the starting adult prices for each option; for children ages 3 to 12, prices start at $124 (around €109). Prices are indicative and should be verified at the time of purchase.
| Duration | Adult price (from) |
|---|---|
| 1 day | $164 (around €144) |
| 2 days | $224 (around €196) |
| 3 days | $274 (around €240) |
| 4 days | $314 (around €275) |
| 5 days | $344 (around €302) |
| 7 days | $394 (around €346) |
| 10 days | $414 (around €363) |
The Attractions Included in the New York Pass
The catalog covers every aspect of the city: world-renowned art museums, observation decks that redefine the scale of Manhattan, American history, and trips to the bay islands. These are some of the top attractions included.
From the top of the tallest tower in the Western Hemisphere, the One World Observatory reveals the true scale of New York with a 360-degree view of the harbor, bridges, and skyscrapers.
The MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown, houses works by Picasso, Warhol, Pollock, and Monet in spaces designed for contemplation.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, with its iconic spiral design by Frank Lloyd Wright on Fifth Avenue, is already a work of art in itself thanks to its architecture.
The ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island adds one of the most powerful chapters in American history. In addition, the pass includes observation decks such as Top of the Rock, the Empire State Building, and The Edge, the 9/11 Memorial Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, the Guggenheim, the Intrepid, Circle Line cruises, and the Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off tour, just to name a few. The MET Museum and SUMMIT One Vanderbilt are not included in the pass.
How Much You Save and Who It’s Best For
The advantage of the pass is twofold: financial and practical. You pay one single price and access the entire catalog without having to compare the cost of each individual admission; even from the first full day of sightseeing, the savings compared to purchasing separate tickets become significant and can reach up to 50% for those visiting many attractions. This also comes with added flexibility: one QR code for everything and no waiting in ticket lines.
The New York Pass is especially convenient for first-time visitors who want to see the main attractions without planning every single ticket, for those who have three to seven busy days available, and for families who appreciate flexibility. It is less suitable for those planning only two or three attractions in total; in that case, a different option may be more convenient.

What to Know Before Booking
- One entry per attraction: each experience in the catalog can be visited only once, but there is no limit to the number of attractions you can visit per day.
- Reservations: some attractions require advance booking of the date and time through the Go City app.
- Availability: if an attraction is not available on your requested date, you can reschedule it or choose another one from the many included options.
- Validity: the pass is valid for 1 year from the purchase date and you can buy it well in advance; the selected days only begin from the first use.
- Refund: the pass is refundable only if it has not been activated and there are no active reservations. Once the first attraction has been visited, it is no longer refundable, and partial use does not qualify for a refund.
Our recommendation
Activate the pass on the morning of your first visit: since the days end at midnight, starting early allows you to gain an extra half day. Then group attractions by neighborhood and book the most popular ones, such as observation decks, in advance through the app to avoid finding them sold out.
Important
After booking, you will first receive an automatic confirmation and then the electronic ticket by email within 24 hours. Also check your spam folder, as it may sometimes end up there. Il Mio Viaggio a New York acts as a booking intermediary; the pass is provided directly by the company behind The New York Pass by Go City.
