Subject: Museum and Travel Passes
Hi Ziners,

Last year I mentioned travel and museum passes - cards that cover several museums and may include local transportation. Here are some that I found:

Naples and area has a great deal that can include local transit as well as discounts on archaeological sites. You can take the train to Pompeii with the Campania version. http://www.inaples.it/eng/artecard.htm

Arhus, Denmark has a card that covers museums and transportation. http://www.sporveje.dk/turist/turistix.html

Venice has two cards - one (blue) for transport and toilets! The orange includes museums. http://www.veniceword.com/vetourinfo.html

There is a Swiss museum pass: http://www.museumspass.ch/

And the Paris museum pass that saves queueing at popular galleries: http://tinyurl.com/2vume

The most extraoardinary thing I found was museum passes on loan from the public library! Check your local library to see whether you can benefit from this. For example, Jamestown residents can borrow passes for Mystic Seaport. http://www.jamestownri.com/library/passes.htm

Some attractions in my city, Toronto, participate in a discounted pass: If you plan to visit the CN Tower and one other of the included attractions over the 9 day validity, it would save money. http://tinyurl.com/ywzgx

Anyone know of other deals?
