Tourist Passes allows you to experience an extensive range of the region’s most popular sites and attractions at a discounted rate. Essentially you pay one price for entrance to all the attractions and tours listed. In addition you get a few more perks such as a free guidebook and skipping the lines at some of the major sights (think about the huge lines in the summer).

For most people, buying a tourist pass is about saving money. You can purchase these passes in your destination but you usually pay full price. Buying them beforehand usually results in some kind of savings (on top of what you would save on paying for each attraction separately).

Why a Tourist Pass?

They are not for everyone. If you are a casual tourist, you are probably better off just paying full price at the few places you visit.

However, if you want to really experience a destination, you should seriously consider a pass. You pay one price then you can go to as many attractions as you like with no extra charges. They usually include more attractions than you can possibly go to but don’t let that deter you. You just need to compare the prices you would pay at the attractions and tours you want to go to and see if you would save money with a pass.

They also contain a wide breadth of types of activities including art museums, science museums, zoos, aquariums, cruises, trolleys, bus tours, observation decks amusement parks and historical sites.

In addition, they come with extras like discounts at shops and retail locations adding to the savings.

They used to come with a souvenir guidebook and card but now most of them use an app to with barcodes for admission all the info you need. It’s a little more helpful as they can continually update information for you.

It all adds up to a nice package to help make your trip as enjoyable and economical as possible.
