Overview

The vast majority of New York City’s iconic sights are located in the area known as Downtown. This hop-on, hop-off ticket focuses on just this area and gives you one calendar day to explore the many places of interest. 

Perched high above the city streets, your open-topped double-decker buses offer some of the best views of Lower Manhattan. You can hop on and off the buses as often as you like and explore the sights along the route. Delve into the fascinating stories of New York as you enjoy informative audio commentary on board. Frequent departures ensure you will never have to wait long for a bus.

Start from M&M World or Times Square and stop by the Empire State Building, officially one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Explore SoHo for high end luxury boutiques or art galleries, or take a stroll around Little Italy or China Town, and grab a bite at one of the amazing cafes. At the very tip of Manhattan is Battery Park, a small oasis of green that looks out over Upper Bay and the Statue of Liberty.
