New York CityPASS scheme boosted by new attraction

Travellers hoping to save some money during city breaks in New York by using the CityPASS will this year be able to visit a new attraction.

The scheme now includes an experience known as Top of the Rock, which takes visitors to the summit of 30 Rockefeller Plaza to enjoy views of the famous Manhattan skyline.

Other sites covered by the New York CityPASS programme include the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum.

Visitors can also see views across the famous city from the top of the Empire State Building, which recently had its grand lobby renovated in a major project that included the restoration of two Art Deco ceiling murals.

CityPASS ticket booklets are available in some of the most popular tourist destinations in North America, including San Francisco, Boston, Chicago and Toronto.

The New York option costs $79 (£53) for adults and $59 for children aged between six and 17.

It can be purchased on the CityPASS website or at any participating attractions.
