What to do: the Mokum tour at the Royal Palace Amsterdam + free admission for Amsterdam residents in February

The Royal Palace on Dam Square is undoubtedly one of Amsterdam's most iconic buildings. A landmark you almost take for granted as a local, having walked past it so often. But did you know that the Palace will be open to visitors for an impressive 220 days in 2025? It's even free for Amsterdammers and former residents throughout the month of February as part of Amsterdam750! Of course, you'll want that too! So reserve one of the free tickets quickly via this link >>Throughout the month of February, the Palace will even be open until 18 p.m. to give more (former) Amsterdammers the opportunity to visit for free.

A must-do during your visit is the new Amsterdam tour in collaboration with "Ommetje met Tom," which I'll tell you more about below. During this tour, you'll discover the Palace in a whole new way and hear interesting background information that's anything but boring.

Free tickets for February are going fast, but good to know: walk-ins are welcome in case of no-shows. You can reserve a free ticket on the spot using a QR code. Admission to the Royal Palace on Dam Square is always free with a City Pass, Museum Card, and for those aged 17 and under.
