AMSTEL 1
The beating heart of the city and of our festival. The Lichtstraat in Amstel 1 is a meeting place, market square and the starting point of many of our activities. For instance, during the Light Nights you can follow creative workshops and light sessions and special tours en cruises depart from there. Don't forget to take a look at the restaurants, or book a culinary festival experience, which pass through Amstel 1.
Moreover, the information point is located in the Lichtstraat. The point is opened from Thursday until Sunday, between 4:30 and 9:00 PM and daily during the Christmas Break. You're welcome to ask all your burning questions about the festival and of course to have a chat with one of our volunteers.
