Experience the Enchantment of the Amsterdam Light Festival from the Museum District
Thinking of escaping the cold winter air at Amsterdam’s famous Museum Square? We strongly suggest capping off your day filled with art and culture by embarking on an exquisite canal cruise, showcasing the magical Amsterdam Light Festival. Situated in Museum Square are four of the world’s most celebrated museums: the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum, and the Moco Museum.
As twilight descends, Amsterdam morphs into an enchanting wonderland of light and color. The Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual winter highlight that dazzles visitors with remarkable light installations created by artists from around the globe. This year’s captivating theme, Rituals, pays homage to the enduring traditions and customs that bind us together in our shared experiences.
Join the Amsterdam Light Festival Canal Cruise in 2024-2025
The ideal vantage point to appreciate these breathtaking artworks is from the water, as many pieces are strategically positioned within the canals and alongside them. As you embark on a LOVERS Canal Cruises boat, you’ll be treated to a cozy atmosphere, with heated boats providing a warm refuge from the chill outside. Moreover, your ticket includes an informative audio guide that shares insights about the art pieces and their creators, enhancing your experience.
This particular canal cruise is longer than the standard offerings because it doesn’t start directly on the festival route. Instead, you’ll enjoy a scenic introduction with a brief cruise through the historic city before joining the main festival path. However, there’s no need to worry—you will see all the mesmerizing artwork displayed along the canals.
