London City Card: Discover London with ease

London is a city where old-world charm meets modern buzz, and with a London City Pass, you get to enjoy both without any fuss. Whether you're excited to see the Tower of London, walk through Westminster Abbey, or even visit the animals at London Zoo, the card gives you access to a bunch of top attractions. You’ll also get entry to museums, river cruises, hop-on hop-off buses, and guided tours. The best part? You can choose a pass that fits how you want to explore! Either by number of days or number of attractions. So whether you want to pack it all in or take your time, there’s a City Card that’s just right for your trip.

London City Card in a nutshell

Variety of cards

With three types of London City Pass and flexible options, whether it’s 2 to 7 attractions, 1 to 5 days, or even a full 10-day pass, you can pick what fits your trip and your budget.

Type of city cards

There are two main styles: Day-based passes are great if you're on a tight schedule and want to see as much as possible. Attraction-based cards are perfect when you already know what you want to see and prefer a more tailored, focused itinerary.

Which city card is best for you?

If you’d rather take your time and choose just a few big-ticket sights, the Headout London Pass, London Explorer Pass by Go City or the 3 Palace Pass are flexible options that lets you enjoy each spot without rushing. But if you're looking to pack your days with as many sights as possible and skip those long queues, the The London Pass® by Go City or Turbopass London City Pass will help you make the most of a shorter stay.

How to use your city card

Just pick your attractions, plan your day, and scan your mobile pass when you arrive. No printing, no waiting; just easy, breezy sightseeing!

Which London City Card is best for you

If you want to see many attractions flexibly within a set number of days

If your London visit is constrained to a short window—say a long weekend or a week—day-pass options like the Turbopass London City Pass , Turbopass London City Pass with London Eye Ticketsor The London Pass® by Go City: Choose 1 to 10 Days are your best bet. These passes operate on a daily access model: you select how many consecutive days you plan to explore (anywhere from 1 to 10 days), and gain unlimited access to 90+ attractions (18 with Turbopass) during that period. This includes major monuments like the Tower of London and Kensington Palace, experiences like guided tours and Thames cruises, and specialty attractions like Madame Tussauds. This approach works best when you're committed to intensive sightseeing over a defined, concentrated timeframe—you pay for daily access rather than pre-selecting specific attractions, which eliminates decision paralysis and maximizes coverage across multiple categories in a short span of time.

Non-activated cards remain valid for 1 year, so you can purchase your pass well in advance without any pressure to activate it immediately—perfect for planning ahead or even gifting.

If you want to see top attractions on a budget

If you're planning to visit more than two major London attractions, the Headout London Pass is a smart investment! It delivers savings of up to 40% compared to purchasing individual tickets. You select 2 to 7 attractions from a curated selection of 45+ experiences like the London Eye, Tower of London, and Westminster Abbey, to hidden gems like Frameless and specialist museums. Rather than rushing through everything in one day, the 30-day validity period gives you the strategic advantage of spacing your visits. The pass also streamlines logistics by bundling transportation, Heathrow Express, Thames River cruises, and hop-on-hop-off buses. This approach works best if you're selective about which attractions genuinely interest you, as each site can only be visited once per pass validity period.

London Explorer Pass by Go City offers a broader selection with 90+ attractions to choose from, which works well if you're undecided about what to see. The London Explorer Pass lets you explore 2 to 7 attractions from a list of 90+ options. The list includes all top attractions like the Tower of London, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, and The Shard, as well as experiences like Up at The O2, the London Bridge Experience, and the Frameless – Immersive Art Experience, among others.

The 3 Palace Pass on the other hand, lets you see London's three most iconic and must-see palaces: Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, and Kensington Palace. If you just want to spend time hopping Palaces and learning about history, then this pass is perfect!
