Every year from the end of November to mid-January, the Amsterdam Light Festival offers a unique spectacle in the city’s alleyways and canals. The best light artists in the world make the lights dance on the water of the canals. In close cooperation with architects and the city of Amsterdam, they present spectacular sights and impressions to the public. You can enjoy this experience particularly intensely during a canal cruise from the water.
The Royal Christmas Fair takes place annually in December (4.–23.12.25 and probably on approximately the same dates in 2026) in the historic city center of The Hague and is considered the most beautiful Christmas market in the Netherlands. Combine a visit to this cozy Christmas market with a trip to the Amsterdam Light Festival!
On arrival in Amsterdam, you will be greeted with Dutch tapas in the hotel bar. These are typical delicacies that are enjoyed in the Netherlands with an after-work beer. Each person is served a beer and a jenever. Welcome to Amsterdam and ›eet smakelijk‹.
Today is all about Amsterdam. First, a tour guide will welcome you for a city tour. You will see the Central Station (Ijmeer side), Java Island, the Muiderpoort city gate, the Waterlooplein flea market, Stopera (music theater and city hall), the Amstel river, the Heineken brewery, the museum district and the beautiful south of Amsterdam. During the Amsterdam Light Festival, in the heart of the city, the canals are beautifully illuminated every year. Enjoy the special flair during this famous light spectacle on a canal cruise.
You start your return journey on the route of your choice. We will be happy to organize a visit to a typical cheese farmer for you.
