Rijksmuseum Gardens
The Rijksmuseum Gardens are open to the public for free, even without a museum ticket. The restored 19th-century garden layout includes a sculpture collection, a greenhouse, a playground, and a fountain pond. Budget travelers sit in the gardens and enjoy the architecture of the museum building from outside. The famous “I amsterdam” letters (when they appear) and the Museumplein square are just steps away.
