What is a Essentials Pass?

Many cities offer city passes that cover dozens of attractions - but what if you only have a long weekend? That's exactly what Essentials Passes are for: you choose a handful of top attractions from a curated pool and pay a fixed price that is lower than the individual admission prices.

Essentials Passes are offered by various providers such as Go City, Turbopass, Tiqets and Headout. The conditions vary depending on the provider and city - from the validity to the cancellation period to the included attraction pool. You can find all the details in a transparent format on our city pages.

EssentialsPass.com compares the available Essentials Passes per city, shows you which attractions are included, how much you save and which Essentials Pass is most worthwhile for your short trip.
