New York 4 day Itinerary

The New York 4 day itinerary will help you organise your New York trip. Planning a trip to New York can be a challenge, especially if you want to be well prepared not miss anything. Are you headed to the Big Apple for a (long) weekend and in need of an itinerary for tours and attractions? Take a look at my sample plan below! Use it to make the most of your time in New York.

Eric’s Tip: “You can visit most of the attractions that I included in this itinerary with a discount pass. Buy the New York Explorer Pass or the New York Pass, for example. All attractions marked with an asterisk (*) are included in both passes. I always recommend getting a pass, because it is much cheaper than buying all the tickets separately. You can cover everything in one pass and don’t need to pay anything extra!”
