A visit to New York City is one of the items on everyone’s bucket list, but everything in this city comes with a high price tag – especially accommodation. If you’re hoping to visit the Big Apple without breaking a bank, consider using one of these tricks to save money on your stay.

Right Time

If you don’t mind a bit of snow and rain, visiting New York City in winter is the way to go. The city can look quite charming during this time of year, and the prices tend to be lower than usual mid-January through mid-March.

Staying Nearby

Many people who work in New York don’t actually live in the very heart of the city, and you don’t have to stay there either. Instead of renting an expensive room in Manhattan, go with Brooklyn or Queens instead.

Free Stay

If everything else fails, you can always try scoring a free place to stay on Couchsurfing. If you’re lucky enough, you may stumble upon someone who’s ready to host and show you around, free of charge.
