There are also lots of other ways to save in the city.

• The streets of Syracuse are friendly to hikers and pedestrians. Thus, it is quite easy to explore it, especially the downtown area, on foot. It is also a good idea to rent a bike to cover more ground than when going on foot. There are a number of hills in the city, especially in the University Area. You can avoid biking up those steep trails by taking a bus to the downtown area. Most buses are willing to take passengers who are bringing their bikes along.

• Buses have reasonable rates. So, if you wish to visit places that are far in between and/or want to minimize travel time, then take a bus. Most places in the city are covered by bus routes. If staying in the city for a long time, it is best to consider buying a 30 Day Unlimited Ride Pass to save on bus fares.

• To save money on accommodations, try staying in budget accommodations. Try to find budget options nearest the attractions or destinations that you are going to spend a lot of time in.

• A lot of budget-friendly restaurants are available in the city. Heid’s is well known for its delicious yet easily affordable hotdogs. The Brooklyn Pickle is another great option, serving diners with tasty sandwiches at rather reasonable prices.
Traveling need not be expensive as long as travelers know where to stay, where to eat, where visit, and how to get there cheap.
