]]> With its canals, endless bike lanes, and nonstop parties, Amsterdam offers an atmosphere that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Even for budget travelers, there are plenty of low-cost activities to enjoy, some of which are even free of charge. Here are some free activities in Amsterdam that are sure to be worth your while.

Amsterdam City Archives

The home of an endless treasure trove of historical documents, the Amsterdam City Archives is an ideal place to immerse yourself in the history of Amsterdam and the Netherlands as a whole. This site regularly offers a range of free exhibitions and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday until Friday and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Amsterdam’s Canal Ring

While it may not be an official museum, Amsterdam’s Canal Ring is a fascinating area to explore the city’s unique architecture. By roaming around this waterway network, you’ll immerse yourself in the Dutch Golden Age, catching glimpses of charming canal houses and its signature hump-back bridges.

Rijksmuseum Gardens

This site is ideal for foodies and nature lovers alike. Free to enter unlike the Rijksmuseum itself, these gardens are the perfect place to explore, breathe in the fresh air, admire the plant life, and enjoy a tranquil picnic with our loved ones.

]]> Entrance fees for the world’s leading museums can sometimes burn a hole in your pocket, but what if we told you they can be visited for free? Some of the world’s leading museums offer free days from time to time, and our pros and cons list will help you decide if saving money is worth the hassle.

Pro: Cutting Costs

The biggest pro of free museum days is the most obvious. You’ll be able to significantly reduce travel expenses by checking out museums on free days and later spend that money on other fun experiences.

Con: Wasting Time

The biggest issue with free museum days are huge crowds and long lines. You’re not the only one trying to get in for free, so keep in mind you’ll spend a lot of time in a queue, which is not such a great idea if you’re only staying somewhere for a day or two.

Pro: Diverse Itinerary

Free museum days can broaden your itinerary and introduce you to attractions you wouldn’t have checked out otherwise. Just make sure to do your research beforehand, especially if a museum in question is only free during specific hours.

Con: Limited Access

The tricky thing about free museum days is that they usually don’t offer access to the full collection. You probably won’t be able to explore temporary exhibitions or join any guided tours for free.

Art Gallery of Ontario

You can visit one of Toronto’s largest art galleries free of charge if you happen to be there at the right time.

Museum of Contemporary Art

Museum of Contemporary Art is another spot in Toronto that art lovers shouldn’t miss for the world, and there’s a way you can visit it for free.

Gardiner Museum

This privately-owned museum is dedicated to ceramic art, and its permanent collection includes around 4,000 pieces. In addition to being free for students, children, and friends of the museum, it can also be visited free of charge every Wednesday, between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

In just a few months more than 1,000 museums in the U.S. will be free to the public. The idea behind it is to promote cultural experiences across the country. How exciting is that?

In association with Smithsonian Magazine, the 17th annual Museum Day Live will take place on September 18, 2021. Visitors just need to download a branded ticket for participating institutions and they’ll be granted access free of charge to museums, zoos, and cultural centers for the day with one guest.

“As we begin to feel a sense of normalcy in our day-to-day lives, we are honored to welcome the public back to Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C. and New York and museums around the country this Museum Day,” said Amy Wilkins, Chief Revenue Officer at Smithsonian Media. “In a year that has challenged us in unprecedented ways it is our hope that this year’s event serves as a reminder of the people, places and cultural experiences that have the power to unite us all.”

So far, hundreds of museums across the country have signed up for the campaign and the list of those participating is constantly updating. Check out the list on the Smithsonian’s website.

De Young Museum

This fine arts museum is located in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, and it features some of the best works of art you’ll get to see during visit to this city. Admission is free the first Tuesday of every month, but they also offer free Saturday visits for Bay Area residents.
