The best Los Angeles city passes
The Go City All-Inclusive Pass, the Pass Plus with Universal Studios and the LA CityPASS: here is how each one works, with honest advice on whether it really saves money, refund rules and how much you can fit into a day.
See our 2 picks
Short answer The best Los Angeles city pass for most visitors is the Go City All-Inclusive Pass, from €84 on GetYourGuide, but only if you will visit two or more paid sights a day. It covers sights such as the Warner Bros. Studio Tour and Knott's Berry Farm. If Universal Studios is on your list, the Pass Plus version (from €217) adds it. A city pass rarely pays off for a slow trip with one sight a day.

How the Go Los Angeles pass works
You buy a pass for a number of days, then scan it at each sight. The pass lives in the Go City app. On GetYourGuide, the All-Inclusive Pass lets you use your days at any time within a 14-day period. The app also has the plan for each sight, so check it before you go.
City pass Los Angeles tickets: are they worth the money?
A pass is worth it only when you would pay for the same sights anyway. Add up the gate prices of the sights you really plan to see each day. If the total beats the pass price, buy the pass.
Los Angeles is spread out, and travel between sights eats time. Two big sights a day is a full day here. For what tours and tickets cost across the city, see the 2026 Los Angeles Travel Cost Study.
Go City or CityPASS: which is better?
Go City suits fast, busy sightseeing, and CityPASS suits a calmer trip built around one big studio. CityPASS tickets are valid for 9 days in a row from your first visit. Go City lets you pick your number of days.
If Universal is your main goal, compare a pass with a single day ticket first. Our Universal Studios Los Angeles tickets guide shows the single-ticket options.
How to get your money's worth from a pass
Plan your days first
List the sights you will really see each day, then price them. Buy the pass only if it wins.
Group sights by area
Pair sights that are close together. Crossing Los Angeles by car takes time.
Check the refund rule
The Pass Plus with Universal is non-refundable on GetYourGuide. The All-Inclusive Pass shows free cancellation on its booking page; check the exact cut-off there.
Read the app before each day
The Go City app has the details for each sight. Check them the night before.
