The arrival procession begins on the water. Sinterklaas and his helpers can be admired from the steamboat, which sails from the Omval via the Amstel River to the Maritime Museum.
Here, Sinterklaas receives the key to the city of Amsterdam from Mayor Halsema and the children's mayor. After disembarking, Sinterklaas continues his journey on horseback, starting at Waterlooplein. The route takes him via Rembrandtplein, Utrechtsestraat, and Weteringschans to Leidseplein. A stage will be set up on the bustling Leidseplein to festively announce Sinterklaas's arrival.
