]]>When you’re a solo traveler exploring the world on a budget, paying $30 or more for a museum ticket may seem like a fortune because you can book a night (or a few!) at a hostel with that money.
Doing some research and figuring out if a museum you want to check out offers free tickets is worth the gamble, but it won’t always work. Even if the museum you want to visit offers free tickets, they might only do it on certain dates, so you’ll have to plan your trip around them.
The biggest downside of free museum days are endless queues that you’ll have to deal with if you want to get in. If the admission is super-expensive, you should consider waiting, but you won’t always have enough time at your disposal. If you’re only visiting a city for a day or two, time is a luxury and it’s better to pay for a ticket on a regular day than wait in line for hours.

Other travelers and locals will have the same idea, and it’s likely you’ll have to wait in a long line to get in. If your trip is pretty short, this often isn’t worth it, and you’re better off buying tickets on a regular day.
