Baltimore Attractions & City Passes
How a city attraction pass works
A city attraction pass bundles admission to several of a city's top sights into one ticket you buy once. The big passes — CityPASS, Go City and The Sightseeing Pass — each cover a different set of attractions and price differently, and what they include changes over time. That is why this page never prints a price or a fixed bundle: we show you the cited attractions and link you to the provider for live pricing, so you compare against the sights you actually want to see.

The city is known for its world-class art museums, the renowned National Aquarium, and iconic landmarks that reflect its rich maritime heritage. Historic sites throughout Baltimore tell the story of American history, from the War of 1812 to the civil rights era. The Baltimore-Columbia-Towson metro area, home to nearly 2.9 million people, supports eight major attractions that draw both regional and international visitors.
Many travelers explore multiple Baltimore attractions during their visit. City passes can bundle several popular sites into a single ticket, offering a convenient way to experience the city's top destinations. This page links directly to the pass provider's site, where you can find current pricing, specific attraction inclusions, and details about available pass options. The surrounding region also features eight National Park Service sites for those interested in expanding their visit beyond the city proper.
