There are loads of fantastic ways to get free entertainment when traveling. All you need is a bit of research before you go and to think a bit laterally. Whether you get your entertainment from music, theatre, lectures, walks or museums there are free experiences all over the globe. Here are some ideas to consider when traveling at home or abroad:
1. Go for a hike or a bushwalk. Remember to pack enough food and drink and sunscreen. Enjoy the country’s scenery for free.
2. Gallery openings are a way to see local art and you might even get free wine and food thrown in!
3. Art walks and garden tours are where you visit local art galleries or homes with gardens for show. You get to meet locals and find out about the local art and garden scene.
4. Free nights at museums. Some museums are even open free all the time (for example The British Museum).
5. Visit the local churches. There is so much history and local culture to be experienced in places of worship and you’ll find a large majority of these have no entry fee, although some may ask for a donation.
6. Open mic nights at pubs where new musicians perform for free to an audience willing to listen. You never know which up-coming star you’ll get to hear.
7. Volunteer to be an usher at a concert, play or movie. Volunteer to help out at a conference or show. You’ll get to experience what’s on offer for no admission cost.
8. Visit the local library. Apart from getting to read books for free you get a different cultural experience in every library you visit. Libraries often have author visits and visiting speakers for generally free admission.
9. Find out if there are any free lunch time concerts.
10. Visit the local television station and see if any shows have live audiences for taping. Join in!
11. Go to the beach for the day.
12. Is there a local fair or festival on where you are visiting? If so you will probably find lots of free attractions there as well as paid ones.
13. Visit the local botanical gardens. In most countries these are free to visit and enjoy.
14. Walk around the city with your eyes open taking in all the sights. It’s amazing what sort of ‘free entertainment’ this will bring you!
15. Window shop. Some people can do this for hours! And it doesn’t cost you a cent.
16. And don’t forget, you can always purchase a local Entertain coupon book which will get you discounts on plenty of activities and entertainments, but can also offer some freebies such as “visit one day, get the second for free” or “pay for one person and the second visits for free”
Enjoy your free entertainment while traveling. There’s plenty of it around.
