Frequently Asked Questions: Getting Here

What is the best way to get to Amsterdam Light Festival?

By public transport: train, tram, metro, bus.

By bike. There are plenty of bicycle stalls and parking spots along the route.

Which public transport stops are best?

Many cruises leave from the Central Station area, so that is a good place to start. From there, you can travel to other departure locations as well.

This is also a good starting point for your walk, as well as Waterlooplein, which is close to our Light Garden and information points.

Where to park my car?

We discourage visitors to come to Amsterdam by car. If you do decide to travel by car, you can check out and overview of P+R options on the website of the City of Amsterdam: click here.

Is the route wheelchair accessible?

In theory it is, but please take into account that the route goes through the historical city centre of Amsterdam, with uneven pavement and bridges

Are all boats wheelchair accessible?

No, not all of them are. Blue Boat Company is; contact them before booking and they will arrange something for you (+312 067 91 370).

Where does the route begin?

As a cultural foundation we place light art in the public space to connect and enrich the visitors and residents of the city. By booking a cruise or by downloading our festival app, you not only get access to the route and all artworks stories, you also support our festival and the art.

Are there any toilets on the route?

We are unable to facilitate this, but you can check out this page on the website of the City of Amsterdam for an overview of public toilets in Amsterdam.

Are there any restaurants on the route?

Yes, there are plenty of spots along the route to warm up. Next to that, you can buy tickets for the Foodwalk, where you will stop by several restaurants on the way for drinks and bites. Also in our Light Garden you can find some takeaway options (on weekends).
