Museum Pass 3 days - Offers can be used before or after?
 
Hello,

I was trying to buy the 3-day Museum Pass for May 9, 10 and 11, but then I remembered that I wanted to use the discount on the ferry (20-25% when you have the Museum Pass) on May 8th .

If we use the pass for discount on the cruise on May 8th, then, we won´t be able to use it on May 11th (day 4 for a 3-day pass)?
Or is it ok to use the discounts before day 1 of the 3-day pass?

thanks for your help,
B

There is no 3-day pass. There are 2-day, 4-day, and 6-day passes.

It may be another card ...

This is what it says on the Museum Pass webpage

We got the 3 day pass and used it for 3 days. I would be surprised if they let you use it on a 4th day. Money-wise, we about broke even with the pass. We wanted it to avoid the lines.

The OP is talking about Turkey which she tagged and the sites are in Istanbul.

Oooops! Sorry about that!

I found the pass extremely helpful for avoiding lines. As I recall, I used a regular ferry on the Bosphorus, not the tourist one for which the pass provides a discount, and as I recall, the ferry was very inexpensive.

Sorry, I myself thought my post was not clear enought.

The question is whether I can use the pass for a certain discount (like x% in transfers from airport or x% in Bosphorus cruise) on days that are not the ones I´m going to use the pass for the museums and attractions.

enough, not enough ...

kja Apr 28th, 2014 05:25 PM

Very unlikely IMO.

yestravel Apr 28th, 2014 06:05 PM

I agree with Kja.

(in fact, yestravel already said so~ :-) )
