Shelters offer free food and lodging — go there first.

Cost

Waiting areas at airports and train stations are usually free. Fast‑food restaurants and internet cafés require some spending. Sleep is often restless, and there’s a risk of theft. The real challenge is staying awake all night.

Book note

Safety risks are real. Keep belongings on your person, refuse drinks or food from strangers, and steer clear of secluded areas. Never camp out under bridges, by rivers, or at construction sites at night — extreme weather can be fatal. As noted in point 4, shelters provide free food and lodging; make them your priority. Some locations conduct midnight clear‑outs, so avoid confrontations with security staff.
