Come one, Come all- Enjoy the freebies in Amsterdam. Sounds like an advertisement, but, no, this is not an advertisement, but it does catch your eye. Isn't it? Trust me, it happens with everyone. Everyone loves to get hold of free things. Especially, when it comes to travelling to one of the cities of Europe, then there arises no question of giving it a miss! No one must miss this opportunity. Yes, I am talking about Amsterdam. The city offers varied freebies to its travellers. Let's have a tour of things to do in Amsterdam, where you don't have to spend a dime even.
Canal rings:
Amsterdam and canal rings are synonymous to each other. These are spread across more than 100 kilometres. The number of Canals in Amsterdam exceeds as compared to that of Venice. Take a stroll down the lane and create magical memories without paying any cost. It is indeed an exciting stuff to do in Amsterdam. They look even more beautiful during the night when sparkling lights fall on the waters.
The EYE film museum:
The place is heaven for the movie buffs. Albeit the ticket for the temporary events are way too expensive, but their permanent exhibition held downstairs is a must watch and it doesn't cost you a bit. The Eye Film museum houses a Panorama room, which is surrounded by the visitors. It houses almost 100 scenes and movie clips, which can be browsed using control panels. In addition to this, the architecture of the museum is worth taking a look. The jagged angels and the white exterior make a visit to this museum a necessary stuff to do in Amsterdam.

Flower Market:
World's first floating flower market is another fragrant freebie in Amsterdam. The market is famous by its Dutch name, Bloemenmrkt, and a visit to this place is a mandatory thing to do in Amsterdam. If there is any flower in your mind, then you are bound to get the same from that market. Varied flowers fill the nearby places with the positivity and aromatic fragrances. Pay for the bouquet, but not for the rosy glow that it brought to your face.
Address: - Singel, 1012 DH Amsterdam, Netherlands, Open 9am-5.30pm
Lunch Time Concerts:
Music Lovers enjoy a special treat at the Concertgebouw. Lunchtime concerts are held on every Wednesday at the venue. You may need a ticket to enter the hall, which is obtained from the Entrance of the hall from 11.30 am onwards. The ticket is free of cost. The majority of times the classical music is played, but there is always a welcome to the budding artists and their modern music.

Free Walking Tour:
Amsterdam amazes everyone with its beauty and giveaways. One of the best freebies provided by various touring companies is the free walking tour. It is a two-hour tour, which gives a see through to the historical events and major sights of the city. The tour is led by professional guides who are knowledgeable and proficient in their languages (English, Spanish). The service is totally tip based. Amsterdam Free Tour constitutes of an excursion to the Royal Palace, Old and New Church, Canals and Bridges, Red Light District, Art and Architecture, Golden Age, and Hidden Treasures.
Exploring along with a learned guide/ local through Amsterdam Tours is one of the best ways to see the Venice of the North. Although Amsterdam is a safe city, but still the Red Light District is one of the areas, which is better traversed with a guide. In spite of this, the hidden secrets, roads less travelled and interesting stories of the locals can only be known with the help of a guide.
You must travel to believe what all is written. Get ready and fly to Amsterdam.
