New York City is one of the most expensive cities in the world in which to live, but that doesn’t mean that you can visit it on a budget. Regarding United States travel, New York travel tips will help you to find the cheapest accommodations, transportation, and best budget friendly attractions that will still make your trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience while not breaking your bank.

There’s nothing better than free so these are some New York travel tips on free stuff in NYC. Big Apple Greeters offers free, personalized tours of New York City by a volunteer. Your greeter will give you advice and tips on making your trip the best it can be. As it is one of the few free options in New York, demand often exceeds supply so make sure to book in advance. The tours last for two to four hours and are quite intimate with groups ranging from 2-6 people…perfect for a family or small group of friends traveling together.

In order to save on accommodations, New York has some very budget conscious hostels. They are fairly decent rooms considering the great price and allow you to spend your money on more important things, like attractions and souvenirs. Central Park Hostel, for instance, offers meager accommodations (dorm style) in the heart of the city. For an even cheaper option, look to places like the YMCA.

Getting around the city is one of the more budget friendly parts to NYC. Luckily, its subway system is both extensive and cheap. You can also purchase passes to allow you to travel freely throughout the city. Don’t make the mistake of taking a taxi, as with the insane traffic and high prices it will kill your budget. If being in an iconic New York yellow taxi is something you have to experience, then do it once.

Lastly, if you want to experience Broadway but think you could never afford it, just look to TKTS. The booth is located right in Time Square and offers discounted show tickets that didn’t sell prior to the day-of. If what show you see is not important to you, then this is a great way to experience Broadway at a fraction of the cost.
