New York is one overwhelming city. Just the thought of what to do and where to go makes you wonder if you’ll see anything at all. Narrowing things down sure is helpful, and the best way to travel the city as a first-timer tourist is with New York City CityPass, and here I listed the top 6 attractions in New York.

6 Top New York City Attractions
If I was to be asked what are the most popular things to see and do in NYC these are the first that come to my mind:
1. Empire States Building
Empire State Building2. Metropolitan Museum of Art
The MET3. American Museum of Natural History
4. Circle Line
5. Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
6. Guggenheim Museum
These were my picks, and when I did a search on budget traveling to NYC and how to save money to visit most of the above, New York CityPASS was recommended to me by several friends and then when I got to the page I couldn’t believe they covered all of these and also one extra (which is definitely an awesome place to visit, simply wasn’t a brainstorm idea).

How to Use the CityPASS for New York
1. CityPASS is a booklet. You simply go to the attractions and they tear off
2. Most places allow you to cut through the wait and just show your booklet, they tear out the ticket and you are in!
3. Once you start using the booklet, you have 9 days from the date.
4. How to Buy it – I do all my shopping online. Love the click and buy option. It was sent to my home and viola.
However, you can also go to one of the attractions and buy it there with all the savings.

Marina, I still haven’t made it to NYC but now I want to go all that much more after reading this! Great pics! 🙂
Mike, you have to check out NYC. I always say it’s a place to visit, but too hard to live.
I can never decide if I want to visit New York or not. I think overwhelming is a good way to describe it…so big, so many people.
This really is a perfect list – particularly with the addition of The Guggenheim! Thank you for the NYC inspiration and for the suggestion on using the City Pass to do it! Great idea!
Hey Mary,
i love the Guggenheim. We didn’t do it this time around, not sure if the kids would like it at all 🙂
This list is definitely the top attractions in NYC. I’ve done all of these and loved them all. NYC is my favorite US city.
I did them all way back when …. But with kids, you have to pick and choose the right ones.
