Always something to do near you

You have free time and you feel like doing something fun. Of course you can plan an outing with your friends. But if you have no idea what you want to do, you have to look for things to do in your area.

There are several ways to find out what to do in the area today. If you want to know what there is to do in Amsterdam, for example, you can look up all events via iamsterdam. But even if you search for "what to do in Amsterdam" in Google, you will see all upcoming events in the city at the top of the search results. Of course you can enter your own city or province for Amsterdam.

But there are also other ways to find out what's going on in your area. For example, keep an eye on the billboards in your supermarket for some small-scale activities and events. Here the posters and placards are pasted for the lesser major, but certainly no less fun activities in your area.

Other options for discovering what to do in your area are websites such as the ANWB and Tripadvisor. ANWB gives tips on museums and places of interest in the city or area you are visiting. Tripadvisor does this too, but also gives you the comments of other people who have already done the activity. That way you know if it's worth going there.

If you don't want to spend too much money, you can always visit a park. In summer, fun events and activities are often organized here. Another good tip if you want to do something in your area but don't want to pay the top price are the various auction sites for day trips. You bid on the best activities and if you are lucky you only pay a fraction of the price you would normally pay.

Is the weather less nice and are you looking for something to do indoors in your area? Then you can take a look at the cinema agenda or consult the theater agenda. Challenge yourself and take a look at something that you normally wouldn't do so quickly and who knows, you might be positively surprised. Also don't forget that in addition to the larger cinemas in many cities, there are also art houses, where less well-known films are shown.

So if you're looking for fun things to do in your area, there are several options to find out. The internet may be your best friend here. Otherwise, you can always just go out and see what you come across!
