Hidden Travel Perks Only Savvy Frequent Flyers Know How to Use

11. Buy Attractions Passes from Locals Who Can’t Use Them

Many major cities offer bundled tourist attraction passes that provide discounted admission to multiple sites, but most travelers don’t realize they can buy them secondhand from locals or other tourists who no longer need them. Websites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and local classified ads often feature listings from people selling their partially used city passes, museum memberships, or event tickets at a reduced price. This is particularly useful in cities with multi-day attraction passes, where someone might have bought a 5-day pass but only used it for three days. Some cities also offer transferable annual memberships that allow visitors to skip long lines at major attractions while saving money. Before buying, always verify the seller’s credibility and check if the pass requires ID or registration. With a little effort, this hack can save you a significant amount on sightseeing costs while allowing you to explore top attractions like a local.
