Look for live music events
During the summertime, many cities have all sorts of fun summer events open to the public, including festivals with live music performances.
When planning your vacation, check that it coincides with one of these events. Then, set up some chairs, grab a drink, and enjoy the entertainment!
Enjoy a hiking trail
This may be obvious, but a nice long walk is one of the best free activities. Cheap vacations are especially easy to achieve for people who love to walk and wander around. Pick a destination with gorgeous and scenic hiking trails that will please your adventurous heart and keep you moving.
Explore a fun neighborhood
Something I love to do when I’m in a new state or big city is pick a fun neighborhood or downtown area to explore. You don’t have to buy anything from any stores or sit down at a restaurant to say you’ve explored a new place.
Just take a nice long walk around and stop in some spots to entertain yourself! You may meet some lovely shop owners and make note of places you’ll want to revisit someday.
Hit up a library or bookstore
I love spending time in a cute, local bookstore. There are so many to get lost in around the world, and bookstore owners tend to be extremely friendly and knowledgeable. If the place you’re vacationing in doesn’t have any bookstores, you can also stop in the library and look around or get caught up in a good book.
While these free activities may sound simple, they’re easy to enjoy and can be a whole lot of fun. Enjoy yourself, and remember to take it easy!
