What can I do for free in Georgetown?

Start with public places, parks, landmarks, viewpoints, public art, markets, and free Gyde walking tours, then check official sources for special-exhibit or event pricing.

How does Gyde keep this from becoming a paid-tour page?

Gyde separates source-backed places and free walks from commercial partner activities, so paid booking links stay clearly labeled when they appear.
