How many attractions per day in New York?
This is THE question that determines which pass will be most cost-effective for you. Here's how to assess your pace.
Relaxed pace: 2 attractions/day
Profile: Families with children, travelers who like to wander, shopping and dining enthusiasts.
Typical day: 1 attraction in the morning, lunch, a stroll, 1 attraction in the afternoon, dinner at a restaurant.
Pass impact: For 8 attractions over 5 days, a day pass (All-Inclusive) will be more expensive. Go for the Explorer Pass (by number of attractions).
Intensive pace: 3 attractions/day

Typical day: 1 attraction early morning, 1 late morning, quick lunch, 1 in the afternoon, free evening.

Our advice
Be honest about your pace. Many travelers overestimate their ability to chain visits back to back. New York is tiring: the walking, the subway, the jet lag...
When in doubt, plan for 2 attractions/day and add a 3rd if you're feeling up to it. Our comparator takes your pace into account to calculate the optimal pass.
