About

Two Amsterdam winter traditions

Combine two of Amsterdam’s favourite winter activities! Skate on the beautiful rink at Museum Square, and take a cruise past all the works of the Amsterdam Light Festival. Both are famous traditions in the city, and with Tours&Tickets you can combine them with an extra cheap winter deal. 

Fun for young and old

Every year the ice skating rink at museum square opens its doors to young and old. The big skating lane is accessible for everyone, experienced or not, and is visited by hundreds of people every day. With skate rental included, and a cosy open air restaurant right next to the rink, it’s the perfect winter activity. Skate for as long as you like, and then grab a glass of hot chocolate or glühwein to warm you up, right next to the ice skaters.

Another important winter tradition is the Amsterdam Light Festival. The festival returns to the city for its 14th edition, and like every year, the canals are lined with beautiful light artworks. The best way to admire them is with a comfortable canal cruise from LOVERS, during which you can sit back and enjoy the art. The boats are heated comfortably, so you can shake off your winter jacket and relax. The best way to warm up after a round of ice skating, with departure right next to the museum square.

The cosiest winter deal

With just one ticket you can enjoy both these activities, with a large discount. Go ice skating before sunset, and when it gets dark, you can hop on the canal boat and enjoy the beautiful light art from the water. The cruise goes past all the artworks, so you won’t miss anything! Enjoy both these Amsterdam traditions in one day, a Tours&Tickets exclusive for the Christmas break.
