About

Combine two fun attractions

If you're looking for a fun winter experience in Amsterdam, then the following combo deal might be just the thing for you: ice skating on Museumplein and cruising along Amsterdam's canals! Since the 1990s, Museumplein has been transformed into a true winter wonderland and is a must-see spot. Amsterdam is at its most beautiful from the water. Take a seat on the boat, relax, and enjoy the beautiful canal houses, the Dutch cycling by, and the Christmas lights as the skipper sails you past Amsterdam's iconic sights.

A unique winter experience

Amsterdam is known for its many canals. The characteristic bridge over the ice rink gives you the feeling of skating across a canal. With the lights and the beautiful Rijksmuseum in the background, it's a true fairytale. Pick up your skates at the entrance and let the magic begin! Whether you are on the ice for the first time or have been doing it for years, every type of skater is welcome at this iconic ice rink. In addition to skating, it is also nice to take a seat in the Het Wak restaurant next to the ice rink. Here you can enjoy hot chocolate, mulled wine, Dutch snacks, or a delicious dinner that you can share with each other.

You can take a 1-hour canal cruise to discover the city from the water. This can be done before or after skating, the choice is yours. The boat will depart a 6-minute walk from the ice rink. Pass iconic city sights such as the Magere Brug and the Anne Frank House, under photogenic bridges and across the Amstel River. There is plenty to see everywhere and everything is very photogenic.
