What To Book In Advance For A New York City Trip
If you’re planning a trip to New York City, probably one of the first questions on your mind is what to book in advance.
Generally speaking, the Statue of Liberty is a must (since it’s the most popular attraction in NYC), while other things like museums, observatories, and restaurants will depend a bit on the situation.
Things You DO Need To Book In Advance
The Statue of Liberty is one of America’s most famous landmarks, so it’s also one of the most visited spots in New York City.
The only way to visit Liberty Island is by ferry, and a reservation is required. General tickets are usually easy to get, but the tickets for the pedestal are somewhat limited, and the crown tickets are very scarce.
If you plan to go inside the crown, you need to book that several months in advance. Personally, I don’t think the crown and pedestal are such a big deal. The general admission lets you see the best highlights.

The rooftop observatories in New York City are very popular, so if you plan to visit one and you have a specific entry time in mind, you should make a booking around one week in advance.
Some observatories have weather policies, so you can rebook if the visibility is bad. However, if you’d rather wait and choose a day with good weather, it’s okay to book a few days in advance; you just won’t be able to be as picky about the entry time.
Conclusion
Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoyed these tips about what to book in advance for New York City.
