Bus Tour: Effortlessly Explore New York's Charm Beyond Manhattan

Fashionable and charming Manhattan is naturally the top choice for New York travel, but the entire New York City is worth exploring, and each borough has its unique features. The New York Pass lets you take a comfortable bus to enjoy a wonderful New York bus tour of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens.

You will see more of New York than most New Yorkers! Are you ready? The bus sightseeing trip is departing~

Board the bus near Times Square in the heart of Manhattan, and the first stop of the tour will be the historic Harlem. Located in Upper Manhattan, Harlem consists of three neighborhoods and is famous for its jazz clubs, African American heritage, avant-garde bars, trendy restaurants, and specialty cuisine.

After a brief stop at the Apollo Theater’s Hall of Fame, the bus will continue north into the Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop and rap and home to the New York Yankees. You can learn about baseball at Yankee Stadium and then admire the Bronx’s unique graffiti murals.

Next, the bus will take you to Queens—the largest borough in New York City—to visit the famous Flushing Meadow-Corona Park. The park was originally built to host the 1939 and 1946 World's Fairs, but it also features other attractions such as the Queens Hall of Science, the Queens Zoo, the Queens Museum of Art, and Citi Field—home to the New York Mets baseball team!

Leaving Queens, we will head to the Bushwick Collective in Brooklyn, currently the most prolific neighborhood for street art and graffiti murals in New York City, offering a stunning feast of graffiti. It is also a true food destination and the dining stop during the bus tour.

Finally, the tour will visit the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge~~ With a total length of 1,834 meters, the Brooklyn Bridge connects Brooklyn and Manhattan. Completed in 1883, it was not only the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time but also considered the Eighth Wonder of the World, and was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1964. Here you can enjoy the spectacular Manhattan skyline and the impressive waterfront views of the Brooklyn Bridge!
