The Big Apple is one of the most expensive places in the world. Not only are the hotel rooms tiny and expensive, but the highest prices are also charged for entry to attractions and museums. A visit to the viewing platform on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building costs 37 US dollars. Or the new underwater attraction “Ocean Odyssey” from National Geographic costs 32.50 US dollars per person.
The fun becomes even more expensive if you also want to visit a musical on Broadway. Then a three-digit sum can quickly become due for a ticket. A trip to New York always ends up being more expensive than planned.
Therefore, you should plan at least one morning or afternoon where you can keep your wallet in your pocket and enjoy attractions for free. Our proposals are not about third-class sights, but about top events and discoveries in museums of world class.
Free attractions in New York City
The decisive factor here is often on which day of the week and at what time the location is visited. Then the doors to the Museum of Modern Art, American Museum of Natural History or the zoo in the Bronx open for a price that you can choose yourself.
And then there is a range of options that are free all year round. These include the parks, newly created green spaces and pedestrian zones as well as museums that generally do not require entry.
On the following pages of the photo gallery, we will use twelve examples to show you how you can save money on your stay in New York.
