Free things to do by city: the experience and its extras

Free things to do can include a public park walk, a museum's general collection, a self-guided street route, or a public viewpoint. Our guides identify the free experience at each place and explain which nearby activities or purchases cost extra.

Make the guide fit your day

Choose the experience described rather than assuming everything inside the attraction is free. Special exhibitions, tours, boat rides, equipment, and car parks may have separate charges. The guides use public free experiences rather than relying on a membership, resident-only benefit, or free trial.

Check current visitor information for the date you intend to go. A free experience can still have a closing day, gate schedule, security process, or reservation requirement. Keep food and transport in your budget, and select a neighborhood cluster if you want to reduce journeys.
