Overview
You’ll join one of our hosts to get into the festive spirit in Amsterdam, which you’ll BE happy to learn starts in November with the arrival of Sinterklaas (not sure what we mean? Ask your host!). The city is draped in twinkling lights, the canals are lit up with the incredible light sculptures of the Amsterdam Light Festival and there are ice-rinks all over the place. From the colorful lights of the festival to Christmas markets where you can pick up gifts and decorations, there’s plenty to celebrate over Christmas in Amsterdam!

Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
