Trip Planning & Tickets

Build a New York trip you will enjoy, with time for the journey between the highlights. Start with a route, choose the tickets that fit, and leave room for meals and a change of plan.

A first visit: start with four days in NYC or a flexible week. Both leave breathing room between the major sights.

Days with children: choose from our family outing ideas, then save the playground guide and public restroom map guide.

A sensible ticket budget: begin with CityPASS versus New York Pass. Dig into the CityPASS options or New York Pass products only after choosing your attractions. Mix in free places to explore.

A guided introduction: compare walking tours and free local welcomes with a hop-on, hop-off bus. Choose the pace as carefully as the price.

A place to wander: browse neighborhood guides, plan a day outside the city, or compare outlet shopping trips. Count the return journey, too.

A cold-weather visit: our winter guide combines indoor stops, short walks and skating choices.

Jewish travel, built into the day. Choose a kosher meal stop before booking a tightly timed evening. Schedule sightseeing on suitable weekdays outside Jewish holidays, keeping Friday afternoon free for Shabbat preparations.
