31 Days of Frugal Travel Tips: Day 8


8. Look for free entries and discounts or deals: If I have learned anything from marrying my Spaniard it is that you cannot afford to pass up something that is FREE. Even if you have to wait longer to get into a free museum it can be worth it. Again, do your research. Find out which days you can get in free or at a discount at the places you want to visit. Recommendation: plan to arrive early. I have mistakingly decided to go somewhere (Versailles) on its only free day to find a mile long line since I didn´t realize everyone and their mom would go then. We waited forever! It can work out though if you plan ahead. There is an amazing, smaller museum (The Frick Collection) in New York that ended up being my FAVORITE that we visited during a trip there. We went on its one free day a month and also got a free audio guide. It was awesome! Make sure you know what you are up against and plan to be patient if you want to take advantage of free entries and discounts.
