Richmond 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 museums and art museums that explore American history, as well as iconic landmarks and scenic parks that reflect its important role in the nation's past and present. Visitors can explore Civil War sites, colonial history, contemporary art galleries, and outdoor green spaces throughout the region.
A city pass can be a convenient way to visit multiple Richmond attractions with a single ticket. Rather than purchasing individual admission fees, a bundled pass may allow access to several museums, landmarks, parks, and other sites in one transaction. For current information about which attractions are included, pricing options, and pass validity periods, visit the pass provider's website directly. The Richmond metro area also provides access to approximately eight nearby National Park Service sites for those interested in expanding their visit beyond city limits.
