Winter dark and gloomy? Not in Amsterdam. Just as daylight hours hit their lowest, the Amsterdam Light Festival swoops in to brighten the night, turning the city’s canals into a glowing open-air gallery.
Teaming up with the bridges’ cosy year-round lighting, the festival decorates the water and surrounding buildings with innovative light sculptures that’ll make you stop and stare. It’s the perfect excuse to bundle up and head out for a winter wander in the crisp, cold air. And if you add a steaming cup of glühwein to the mix? You’ve got the ultimate antidote to winter blues.
