OK, so you’ve made it: You’re in San Francisco! While this is an awesome city (nice choice!), this is also an expensive city. Like really expensive. But worry not, my traveling friend, there are many things to do that will not cost a penny! Make your momma proud and hit up one of the many museums in this diversely cultured city. I know, sometimes it seems silly to waste one’s money on a museum ticket when you could just save it up for happy hour, but luckily enough the museums realize this: There are many free and discounted days each month that you can take advantage of.
