As a huge proponent of budget travel, I get excited when I see things pop up for free or very cheap in Europe. And I get even more excited about sharing them with you.
This Travel Tip Tuesday I am happy to announce that Italy is hosting a special event called Martedi in Arte, which translates to Tuesday in Art.
The Italian government is sympathetic to the economic woes of travelers, and as such has decided to give art and culture lovers a little break by offering free admission to select museums on the last Tuesday evening of the month between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m..
The program is only running through the end on the year, which means that you’ll only have three possible opportunities to take advantage of the discount; October 26th, November 30th and December 28th, 2010.
Many popular museums in Rome, Venice, Florence and Tuscany are included, as well as a few in other regions like Campania, Emilia-Romagna and Puglia.
For a complete listing of museums check the Martedi in Arte list.
Do you think you’ll be taking advantage? Which Italy museums would be on your ‘free’ list?
