- Every summer there are free performances (theatre, dance, music) in the Vondelpark Open air theatre https://www.openluchttheater.nl
- Every last Sunday of the Month you can go to the Sunday Market in the Westerpark (and that's pretty cool area!) https://www.sundaymarket.nl
And please do not bike in Amsterdam when you're not used to it. It's crowded on bike lanes! With the train or bus you can easily reach those charming place like Weesp, Ouderkerk a/d Amstel, Durgerdam, Broek in Waterland or Haarlem.
Thanks for these, and the advice about cycling. There's a surprising amount to do that's free in Amsterdam. Indeed I once wrote a book, 'Fun for a fiver in Amsterdam', with hundreds of free and cheap things to do in the city, though it's pretty out of date now.
