Thoughtful Gift Ideas for Travelers – Experiences & Essentials

It's been a strange and difficult year for travel, but it's a great time to gear up for the next adventure. If you need gifts for the travelers in your life, we have a few suggestions.

Of course, we think the best gift of all is one that provides an experience. Explore CityPASS destinations to give the gift of memories that will last a lifetime. If traveling doesn't feel quite right at the moment, don't worry—you have a year from purchase date to begin using your tickets. Plus, we offer a risk-free 365-day return policy on unused CityPASS tickets.

If you're looking for more traditional items to place under a tree, we have a few suggestions for that, too.

Luggage

It's practical, essential and comes in all sizes. We like Briggs & Riley for a variety of suitcases and carry-on bags. You can also find handy accessories like packing cubes or a multi-port USB charger with outlet adapters. Bonus:they offer free repairs.
