Ice Skating on Museum Square

True Dutch winter fun

Experience the magic of winter at the ice skating rink on Amsterdam’s museum square. Like every year, the ice skating rink is set up in the middle of the square, right across the beautiful Rijksmuseum building. Enjoy skating, warm drinks, Dutch snacks, market stalls and other seasonal delights at the most festive skating spot of the city.

A winter paradise in Amsterdam city centre

Every year, the ice skating rink on Museumplein is enjoyed by both locals and people from all over the world, both experienced skaters and people who still need to learn. Young and old come together for this classic Dutch winter activity, whether it's cold or not. Dutch winter is usually quite mild, so natural ice is not common, but on the ice skating rink you can skate comfortably in any weather. 

The ice skating rink is also surrounded by stalls, with a seating area with views of the rink and the museum, including a lovely bridge to cross the ice. Here you can have a lovely glass of hot chocolate or glühwein, other hot and cold drinks, Dutch snacks like bitterballen, but also modern bites and even a full dinner. Sit down comfortably after skating, and enjoy a bite in a warm atmosphere despite the winter cold. A beautiful winter world in Amsterdam.
