If exploring the art scene of new cities happens to be your favorite part of traveling, you probably spend most of your time at museums and galleries. The tricky part is that most of them come with a pretty high price tag, but there are many ways to discover art for free.

Local Galleries

You don’t have to go to the biggest gallery that the city has to offer to explore its thriving art scene. Tiny, local galleries can be found at every corner, and you can usually visit them free of charge and only spend money if you decide to buy artworks or souvenirs they have in store.

Street Art

Why spend a fortune on museum tickets when city walls are an ever-expanding gallery that you can visit for free? Most major cities in the world have a bustling street art scene, and it’s up to you to discover it on your own, as you walk around the city and notice amazing murals and graffiti all around you.

Free Visits

If you don’t want to miss leading museums despite their pricy admission fees, look for ways to save on your tickets. Some museums offer free visits on certain days, and you can also save a significant amount of money by getting a museum card that covers several attractions.
