Local Tips
Buy a city pass
If you plan to visit several paid attractions, a multi-attraction pass can save money and skip lines for places like observation decks and major museums.
Use Staten Island Ferry
For a free close-up view of the Statue of Liberty, take the Staten Island Ferry round trip instead of a paid cruise.
Timing for views
Arrive well before sunset at popular observation decks—lines build early and sunset slots are particularly busy.
Brooklyn Bridge route
Start in Brooklyn and walk toward Manhattan for the best skyline photo opportunities and less turning back.
Score Broadway deals
Try TKTS booths, same-day lotteries or box-office discounts for cheaper Broadway tickets if you’re flexible.
