Look for a local guide. Go to greeternetwork.com who hooks you up with volunteer guide.

Look out for the free copy of the local listing magazine or newspaper which has promotions and deals on going out and restaurants, and museums.

Check charter flights on charter-flights.co.uk or avro.co.uk or travelrepublic.co.uk for cheap charter flights that need to sell tickets on empty flights.
