Museums
Museums
What: Adult admission to Tate Modern, London

Cost: Free entrance to galleries; special exhibitions up to £11, or $22.55

VERSUS

What: Adult admission to the Museum of Modern Art, New York City

Cost: $20 (includes galleries and film programs)

Bottom line: Some of London's finest attractions are also some of the best deals in town. A number of museums, including the Tate Modern, Natural History Museum and Victoria & Albert, offer free admission. Special exhibitions usually cost extra, but even if you factor in those costs, you should be able to do some museum hopping on the cheap.
