It’s no secret that life in New York City is expensive, and even if you’re just spending a few days in the greatest city in the world, you’re likely to find yourself spending a bit (or a lot) more than you’d originally planned. But budget travel in NYC is by no means mission impossible. There are actually lots of free attractions for savvy travelers to enjoy.
Some Cool Museum offer free entry
You can enjoy art in NYC largely for free. A few of the museums that offer free entry are the American Folk Art Museum, the Bronx Museum of Art, the Fashion Institute of Technology Museum, and many more. Also check you the Chelse galleries, mostly in the streets between 10th and 11th Avenues.
Bushwick Collective
While we’re on the subject, if street art is what you love, the Brooklyn Collective is an unofficial graffiti museum bringing together top street artists from all around the world. Spanning multiple buildings and several blocks, all the art is temporary and legal.
New York Public Library
New York’s Public Library is a jaw-dropper to walk through. It’s fronted the two marble lions named “Patience” and Fortudude, and there are interesting exhibits too. These include a copy of the original Declaration of Independence, a Gutenberg Bible, and 431,000old maps. Free tours take place at 11 am and 2 pm Monday to Saturday.
Central Park
We don’t need to tell you how iconic Manhattan’s Central Park is. It’s also filled with free events, statues, and people watching of course.
