Go City Review 2026: Best Winter 10% Promo + New Essentials Passes Launched

Travel deals come and go- but sometimes, they line up in a way that’s too good to skip. That’s exactly what’s happening with Go City right now. They’re running a 10% winter promo on select city passes and rolling out new Essentials passes in key destinations. There’s a catch, though. You’ve got tight booking windows, and some cities are excluded from the promo. But if you time it right, you can combine both for big savings, especially before prices go up soon.

Let’s break down exactly how to use the 10% discount, how the new Essentials passes work, and how to lock in the best deal.

 How to Save 10% on Go City Passes This Winter (Step-by-Step)

The 10% discount isn’t a long-term deal. You only get three booking windows. Miss them, and you miss the savings. Here’s how to use it.

1. Check your city first. Not all destinations are included in the promo. The excluded cities: Paris, Amsterdam, Cancun, Gothenburg, Hong Kong, Madrid, Prague, and Sydney. If you’re headed to New York, Chicago, Singapore, London, Miami, or San Francisco, you’re good. Those qualify for the 10% off.
2. Wait for the promo window. Timing’s everything here. You can only use the promo code during these three windows:

• February 13–16
• February 20–22
• February 26 – March 2

3. Pick your pass type. This is key. You’ve got three options:

• All-Inclusive Pass: Unlimited attractions for a set number of days. Great for longer trips.
• Explorer Pass: Pick a set number of attractions. Flexible, you have 60 days to use them.
• Essentials Pass (new): Perfect for shorter trips, 1 headline attraction + 2 more you pick. We’ll dive into that next.

4. Apply the promo code: WINTER. When you’re ready to book, enter the code WINTER at checkout. That’s 10% off the total.

5. Book before the price increase. Go City’s hinted that prices are going up after the promo ends. That means this isn’t just about the 10% savings, it’s also about locking in pre-hike pricing. Double win.

How the Go City Essentials Pass Works (and How to Pick the Right One)

Now, about this Essentials pass. It’s a lighter, leaner option. Less expensive than the All-Inclusive but more structured than the Explorer. The Essentials pass gives you:

• 1 Headline Attraction: The big one. Think Empire State Building (New York), Skydeck (Chicago), or the Guinness Storehouse (Dublin).
• 2 More Attractions: You choose from a list. Boat rides, museums, and walking tours, it depends on the city.
• Lower Price: Essentials is cheaper than the All-Inclusive. It’s built for shorter trips.

Let’s look at a few cities. I’ll walk you through how to use each one.

1. New York Essentials Pass (Launching Feb 12)

• How to use it: Lock in the Empire State Building as your headline attraction. Then add two more: say, a Statue of Liberty ferry and the Museum of Modern Art. You cover the big three without overload.
• Good fit for: First-timers, short trips (3 days or less), anyone who wants the big icons but doesn’t need 7–10 attractions.

2. Chicago Essentials Pass (Feb 12)

• How to use it: Pick Skydeck Chicago as your main attraction. Then add a Chicago River architecture tour and either the Field Museum or Art Institute, depending on your style.
• Good fit for: Travelers who want Chicago’s skyline and a classic river tour, but don’t need unlimited attractions.

3. Singapore Essentials Pass (Feb 12)

• How to use it: Start with Gardens by the Bay. Then add the Singapore Flyer and maybe a river cruise for a mix of views and relaxation.
• Good fit for: Short stays (1–3 days). Especially good if you’re balancing time in other parts of the city.

4. Miami Essentials Pass (Live Now)

• How to use it: Go for the Everglades airboat tour as your headline. Add a Biscayne Bay cruise and one more, like an art museum or walking tour.
• Good fit for: Weekend visitors. You’ll cover air, water, and city tours in two or three days.

5. Prague Essentials Pass (Live Now)

• How to use it: Make Prague Castle your headline attraction. Then pick a river cruise and the Astronomical Clock Tower. Classic combo. In two or three days, you’re done.
• Good fit for: First-time visitors, shorter trips. Covers the highlights without a full pass.

If you’re traveling to major landmarks, check out UNESCO’s World Heritage list (for sites like the Statue of Liberty or historic Prague). Also, if you’re traveling internationally, keep an eye on the CDC’s travel page for any health advisories or entry requirements, especially if you’re heading to Hong Kong or Singapore.

How (and When) to Combine the Essentials Pass with the 10% Promo

This is where timing gets interesting. Because the Essentials passes launch in a few key cities on February 12, you can combine that rollout with the 10% promo if you book within the right window.

• Step 1: Wait until February 13 (the first promo window). That’s when the WINTER code is live.
• Step 2: Focus on the cities where the Essentials pass just launched: New York, Chicago, Singapore, Orlando, Hong Kong (though note HK is excluded from the promo discount).
• Step 3: Book during one of the three promo periods (Feb 13–16, Feb 20–22, or Feb 26 – Mar 2).
• Step 4: Apply the WINTER code at checkout. That’s your 10% off, even on the budget-friendly Essentials pass.

But remember: Hong Kong and Prague are excluded from the 10% promo. You can still grab an Essentials pass there, but no extra discount. For New York, Chicago, and Singapore, you do get that extra 10% off.

Final Thoughts: 

Here’s the real takeaway. The Go City 10% promo only runs during three windows. February 13–16, February 20–22, and February 26 – March 2. If you’re planning a trip to cities like New York, Chicago, or Singapore, that’s your shot to grab the discount.

Pair that with the Essentials pass launch in more cities (Feb 12), and you’ve got a sweet spot for shorter trips. Essentials is cheaper than the All-Inclusive, and with the promo, you’ll lock in savings before prices go up.

Bottom line: If you’re the kind of traveler who hits just a few top attractions, without needing a full city explorer pass, Essentials + WINTER promo is your move. Just don’t wait too long. That price hike is coming.
