Free Tulips - National Tulip Day in Amsterdam

When in Amsterdam...the third Saturday of the 1st month is National Tulip Day.

Every year National Tulip day brightens the city. This year, 2018, the city needs some cheer especially so with the big code red storm yesterday.

What we love about this day is the color and FREE Tulips. You too can enjoy. It is tomorrow January 20 on the Dam Square. It is one of the best things you can do in Amsterdam this weekend.

National Tulip Day on Dam Square Amsterdam


We Dutch love free things and to be provided the national flower for free in the grayness of January always lightens the mood.

The tulips are specially grown in the greenhouses South West of Amsterdam.

So get to the Dam Square tomorrow. Pick your own free tulips.

It doesn't matter if you are here for a few days or a few hours.

Take your tulips and put them in your room or give them out to people you pass in the street.

Spread happiness and color on National Tulip Day.

We Recommend:

1. Give yourself enough time to line up.
2. Take lots of photos.
3. Pick your own tulips. Put the tulips in your room or hand them out to passersby.

Free Burgers in Amsterdam this Thursday!!!



When in Amsterdam...has been taken over by upmarket burger places over the last year. Another one is about to be added to the list. However, to open they are going to give away free burgers. Yes, you read it right, FREE BURGERS. Not a normal Dutch strategy, no. This group comes from Belgium via Rotterdam. They are called Ellis Gourmet Burger and the address is Prinsengracht 422.



The Free Burger tasting is on Thursday 19 February from 11:30 until 8pm. Expect madness as free things in this city make people go crazy.
