Your Experience
Picture yourself on a boat on the Amstel River, seeing Amsterdam illuminated with spectacular light artworks. What's more? You get to enjoy this festival post a delicious meal at the LOVERS Café. Step inside this restaurant and relish a special menu that includes satay, fries, and acar with onion, seasoned chicken, and more.
After dinner, hop on the heated boat to enjoy unparalleled views of the light art while you relax and take in the glowing sights. The theme Imagine Beyond will take you on a journey to the world of imagination. The almost 6-km-long route is designed in such a way that you can see all the works of art, both on the quay and along the canals.
Starting at Prins Hendrikkade, the canal boat takes you through the Weesperbuurt and Plantage neighborhoods, where you can find all the art on display. You also have the company of an audio guide (available in English and Dutch) that fills you in on the back story behind each beautiful light installation.
