In New York, there is a subscription system (pass), when instead of buying a ticket for each individual attraction, you buy a pass that already includes entrance tickets to a number of attractions. The most popular of them is the New York Pass.<br />The <a href="https://www.bestnewyorkpass.com/en/">New York Pass</a> — limited in validity (1 ,2, 3, 5, 7 or 10 days depending on the price), but is not limited by the number of attractions that can be visited. Another thing is that time is not rubber and visiting one attraction can take a lot of time. But this pass makes it possible to bypass queues. And the choice of attractions-tours — more than 80 pieces. This tourist card gives access to almost all interesting places in New York, if you don’t like something, you can safely leave and go to another place.</p><figure id="attachment_476" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-476" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-476" src="https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/time-square.jpg" alt="time square" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/time-square.jpg 640w, https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/time-square-300x200.jpg 300w, https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/time-square-600x400.jpg 600w, https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/time-square-455x304.jpg 455w, https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/time-square-267x178.jpg 267w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-476" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Denys Nevozhai on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>Tickets to Broadway musicals are not necessarily super expensive! It is quite realistic to save up to 50% of the ticket price if you buy a ticket for a performance on the day of its showing. Tickets are sold at the box office; on the official website you can see the addresses where the kiosks are located. Of course, you will have to stand in line and prepare cash, bank cards are not accepted, but the game is definitely worth the candle. The only limitation is that it will hardly be possible to buy tickets for the premiere, usually they are sold out much in advance. You can also see discounted tickets for Broadway shows on other websites, or you can try your luck in the theatres themselves on the day of the performance.</p><p>At first glance, the price of entrance tickets to New York museums may be high for you, but there are two tricks at once that will save the budget! Firstly, the recommended price. The cost of admission in many museums is indicated as a recommendation, which is absolutely not necessary to follow, it is already a matter of conscience and everyone’s capabilities. For example, instead of the recommended $ 25 for a visit to the Metropolitan, you can pay 5, or 2, in short, the payment remains on your conscience. Secondly, as in Europe, some museums arrange free days when you can get to the museum for free at a specially designated time, that is, for free. On the Internet you can see a detailed list of museums in New York with free days and hours. But keep in mind that you are not the only one who loves free days, and on a free day you will have to enjoy art among the crowd.</p><figure id="attachment_477" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-477" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-477" src="https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/new-york-street-signs.jpg" alt="new york street signs" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/new-york-street-signs.jpg 640w, https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/new-york-street-signs-300x200.jpg 300w, https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/new-york-street-signs-600x400.jpg 600w, https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/new-york-street-signs-455x304.jpg 455w, https://capeverdeusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/new-york-street-signs-267x178.jpg 267w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-477" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Jose Oh on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>Free Staten Island Ferry.

It consists of a group of ten volcanic islands and is often referred to as an archipelago. The capital city is Praia, which is situated on the largest island, Santiago.</p><p><strong>Key facts about Cape Verde</strong></p><p>1. Before <a href="https://www.wakanow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">booking a flight and hopping on a plane</a> to this island, it’s important you know that The Cape Verde islands are of volcanic origin, with some of the islands still having active volcanoes.

The Cape Verdean Creole language is widely spoken and has various dialects across the islands.</p><p>3.

The country has been making efforts to diversify its economy and attract foreign investment.</p><p>4.

However, there are a few factors to consider when determining the least favorable times to visit:</p><p><strong>1. Rainy Season:</strong> Cape Verde has a distinct rainy season, which typically occurs from August to October. During this period, some islands may experience heavy rainfall and potential flooding, which could impact outdoor activities and limit beach time.</p><p><strong>2.
