的 is redundant in 很多的. Just use 很多

很多的 + noun vs 很多 + noun

1. Basically, `的` can always be omitted for a simple adjective.
2. But for emphasis of the adjective, `的` is added (so omit it if not).
3. For the omission of `的`, check [this link](https://www.zhihu.com/question/24860134), kind of CN quora (if it is fine to read).
4. The third sentence is an exception of your description. `很多` comes after `人`, so it is `(人很多)的地方` and `的` cannot be omitted here to avoid ambiguity.
