How many times have you traveled abroad and found yourself being nickel and dimed at every attraction you visited? I remember many a vacation where we left in the morning with $250 in our pockets and were broke by early afternoon because every attraction cost say $15, $20, $30 to get into. We were fortunate enough about 4 years ago to travel to Niagara Falls and buy passes that covered all the attractions. I think they were good for several days, can't remember all the specifics though. This was a great idea because we could see everything we wanted to see and the high cost of individual admissions didn't keep us from going to many attractions. We even visited the Butterfly Exhibit twice because it was so breathtaking.
Now, in 2007, many cities across the world offer passes to all their attractions. These passes are worth every penny you spend for them. Usually just visit 3 attractions and your passes are paid for already.
The Largest Pass Program I could find is called Visiticket. This Pass Offers You:
Cost-savings that are hard to beat on popular U.S. cities attractions, meals at fine restaurants or shopping.
Convenient, ticket-less entry to your city’s top tourist attractions, stores, or restaurants
"Fast tracking": VIP, front-of-the-line access to a multitude of attractions
Detailed, easy to read maps and guides with all the tourist information you’ll need on major U.S. cities attractions, fun shopping venues, and of course; fine dining restaurants
