5 Free Things to do in New York

5 Free Things to do in New York

Despite the expensive reputation that New York holds, a combination of staying in cheap NY hostels with any of a number of free activities and things to do in the city, and you’ll be saving big. Remember that like any other huge city, New York City is jam-packed with cheap or free things to do alongside ritzy expensive stuff. Read on to find out about 5 of the best free things to do in NYC.

Times Square

5 Free Things to do in New York

To begin with, you can check out Times Square. One of New York City’s most emblematic locales is the world-famous intersection of foot and car traffic where you’ll find towers decorated in the bright likes of capitalism: advertising. If it’s the architecture that speaks to you, continue your free walking tour with a visit to the Empire State Building or the Chrysler Building. The bustling Grand Central station is a superb example of spacious European-style train stations, or check out the gothic St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
Green Getaways: Brooklyn Botanic Garden or Central Park
One of the largest city parks in the world is New York’s Central Park. It’s a great way to get out of the hustling and bustling city streets, and at any time of the year its grounds are somehow magical. If you prefer more diversity of flora, head to Brooklyn’s Botanic Garden. There you’ll find that on Tuesdays and Saturday mornings entry is free. You can meander along the Cherry Esplanade, or enjoy the scents in the Fragrance or Herb Gardens. Also, the grounds boast such features as a Bonsai Museum and Tropical Pavilion.

Brooklyn Museum

Brooklyn Museum

Many New York museums offer free days during each month, but the Brooklyn Museum deserves special mention for its exhibits showcasing Egyptian artifacts. Or you can check out the artistic masterpieces from the Renaissance. The museum, though, houses a wide range of art, from all parts of the globe. The collection is one of the largest of US museums, so if you can get there on a Saturday after 5pm, you won’t have to pay anything to appreciate the scope.

New York Public Library

New York Public Library

For anyone interested in the world of knowledge, the New York Public library is an exceptional place to visit. The building itself is magnificent, and its collection of books is something to be admired. The interior is elegantly designed, and the wide open space and extremely high ceilings are sure to give you that feeling of awe.

Free Concerts and Shows

New York is one of the global capitals of live entertainment. You might opt to see something for a small price, perhaps in one of New York’s infamous theaters, or you can keep an eye out on free offerings. In a city of 18 million people, there is always something going on. Perhaps a Broadway Showcase will be happening, or maybe you’ll be in town near Memorial Day, in which case a ferry trip to Governor’s Island for free concerts and entertainment would be worthwhile. Otherwise, for a more regular showing, head over to B.B. King Blues Club and Grill on Fridays and Saturdays for a free blues show.

It goes without saying that the list goes on. These are just a few of the many freebies the Big Apple has to offer. If you need cheap accommodation please visit hostelbookers.com.

Sightseeing San Francisco Hire a Bike

Sightseeing San Francisco Hire a Bike  For travelers looking for holiday to San Francisco, one of the things you should ask yourself is whether you are a sufficient bike rider. Unlike other cities in America, the San Francisco Bay Area is teeming with cyclists and their bikes. It is an overwhelmingly bike-friendly city and has the illusion of being one giant velodrome. Luckily, this means that the tourist has options for bike rentals that will allow you to navigate hills or take a tour to a nearby national forest reserve.  Best advice: do not wait to rent  While there are many bike shops that rent in San Francisco, one problem that tourists can have is expecting to walk in and find a bike available. If you need a specific bike (for example; you are very tall and need a large framed bike), your chances are slim that they will have one waiting for you the day you decide to show up. For this reason, most of the bike rental shops in San Francisco allow you to reserve...
