Festive season
It may be cold outside, but the joy and sparkle of Amsterdam’s festive season will keep everyone warm. From November to January, the city comes alive with twinkling lights, buzzing holiday markets, concerts, plays, and parties whilst the aroma of mulled wine and oliebollen wafts through the air. Here are our guides to Sinterklaas, Amsterdam Light Festival, Christmas and New Year's Eve in Amsterdam.
