Detailed answer
The Charging Bull is an outdoor monument that is accessible to the public at all times. Visitors without a Free Priority Photo Pass or Visitor Reservation can still view the Charging Bull by walking in. However, they will not receive crowd alerts or be able to coordinate their visit during less busy times. On average, weekday wait times are around 10 minutes, while weekend wait times can be as long as 25 minutes. The Free Priority Photo Pass is available at no cost ($0) and allows visitors to reserve a specific arrival slot, helping to minimize wait times. It's worth noting that the pass does not guarantee a specific wait time, as actual wait times depend on sidewalk congestion at the time of visit.
