Join the hustle and bustle of the city’s eclectic streets, then hop on the subway–an essential New Yorker experience–to get to the unique NYC tourist destination of your choice.

Admittedly, getting around in New York can sometimes be pricey, timely, and confusing, what with subway station lines, quickly sold-out attractions, and inflated prices. But this is where the handy Explorer Pass comes in. The Go New York City Explorer Pass grants you entry to up to seven of the featured wonders and tours in New York City. View historical sites in person, recreate your favorite TV or movie scene on real-life sets, or go on an NYC-inclusive food excursion. You can plan your itinerary or go on a spontaneous adventure: simply choose an activity you want to experience, then show your pass when you arrive. Availing explorers can enjoy easy and discounted access to New York’s finest attractions, directly from their mobile device or printed pass, along with a complete guide and directions to keep the focus on the fun.

The 4 Choices Pass or the 5 Choices Pass are best for guests spending a few days touring the city. They can make sure they have enough time to appreciate the New York skyline, as well as time to live out their romantic fantasies of strolling the Upper East Side or having breakfast at Tiffany’s.

The Go New York City Explorer Pass allows guests to take their picks from their extensive list of over 90 incredible experiences. Here are five places you’ll probably want to shortlist for your visit in New York:

Once the tallest building in the World, the Empire State Building stands as a symbol of hope, perseverance, and prosperity from the time it was built in the 1930s. The cultural landmark is 102 stories, and houses three observatories at its 80th, 86th, and 102nd floors for visitors to appreciate the most remarkable views of Manhattan. The Empire State has been featured in numerous films and television series, such as King Kong, Sleepless in Seattle, How I Met Your Mother, and Gossip Girl to name a few. 

For same-day visits, entry fees to the 86th floor observatory are free with the Go New York Explorer Pass, though tickets are dependent on availability. Entry tickets and time slots tend to sell out quickly so pre-booking your visit will guarantee your preferred time and date for your sightseeing trip.

Located in the Lower West Side of Manhattan, “The Village,” or Greenwich Village, is home to a lively community and an abundant history. Its early years as a capital of Bohemian culture has kept the area upbeat, culturally-diverse, and a space for various forms of creativity and self-expression. However, when the sun goes down, that’s when the neighborhood truly comes to life with its bustling nightlife minus the jazz bars and open-late pubs. The Ghosts of Greenwich Village Tour will take you through the macabre moments and creepy crannies of The Village. From Washington Square Park at the heart of Greenwich Village, to the “House of Death,” New York’s most haunted house. Learn the gruesome tails and hair-raising details of seemingly unsuspecting streets and establishments like Gay Street and Chumley’s.

Experience the city from 850 feet high! The Top of the Rock Observatory at Rockefeller Center offers 360-degree unobstructed views of New York, including the Empire State Building. On your way to the top, you’ll be able to admire the grand 14,000-crystal Joie Chandelier, and learn about the history of Rockefeller Center. Take the sky shuttle to 67th, 69th, and 70th floors where you can spot Central Park and Midtown Manhattan. The New York City skyline makes for a one-of-a-kind photoshoot location guaranteed to produce the most iconic and memorable photos. The city is a stunner no matter what time of day you visit, just as long as you make time for this NYC-only experience.

Meet Lady Liberty herself in all her towering glory on Liberty Island. Perhaps one of the most quintessential symbols of New York, and the United States of America, the Statue of Liberty has stood as an icon for American freedom and opportunity. This walking tour provides an in-depth look into the rich history of this historical monument, from its origins to what it stands for today. Just a short distance away is Ellis Island, an attraction with its own interesting history as a previous site for an immigration station in the late 1800s. Hear the accounts of immigrants who arrived through the island hoping to begin new and better lives in America. This learning experience is sure to be one for the books.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art first opened its own building doors to the public in 1880 after acquiring its first work of art just 10 years prior. Since then, the museum’s collection has grown to contain more than two million pieces–making it the largest art museum in the United States of America. “The Met” showcases over 5,000 years of art from all around the globe, including ancient Egypt, creations by the European masters, and antique weapons and armor. Appreciate the artistry of Greek and Roman sculptures up close and personal, or experience history through fashion at The Costume Institute–the hosts of the annual Met Gala. Even more than just beautiful displays of historic art, The Met always has new and innovative exhibitions and events on a show for aesthetes and inspired visitors.
