Amsterdam & Zaanse Schans Trip – Light Festival Closing
During one of the most magical times of the winter season, Amsterdam welcomes its visitors with its historic charm and streets illuminated by enchanting lights. The annual Amsterdam Light Festival transforms the city’s canals into an open-air art gallery, and the closing days of the festival are when the atmosphere becomes truly unforgettable.
Coinciding with this special period, the Amsterdam & Zaanse Schans Trip offers guests a unique opportunity to experience both the most striking examples of modern light art and the traditional lifestyle of the Netherlands.
Amsterdam Light Festival: The Glow of the Finale
In the final days of the festival, light installations, vibrant reflections on the water, and impressive artworks placed between the city’s historic bridges create a dreamlike atmosphere. The evening canal cruise becomes the highlight of this experience. Each light installation tells its own story through color, water, and art, turning Amsterdam’s night into a magical spectacle.
Zaanse Schans: A Place Where Time Stands Still
Just a short journey from Amsterdam’s lively center, Zaanse Schans offers an authentic glimpse into 18th-century Dutch life.
With its historic windmills, green wooden houses, cheese workshops, and the aroma of handmade chocolate filling the air, Zaanse Schans provides a warm, unique, and history-rich contrast to the modern, illuminated world of the Light Festival.
Refund Policy
• We provide you with a 100% refund if the trip is canceled by UNIFLUCHT.
Each year, hundreds of submissions are submitted by designers, architects, and artists from around the world. A selection committee then chooses approximately 35 artworks that made up the festival’s installations, which in past years have included prominent artists such as Ai Weiwei.
The sculptures can be spotted all over Amsterdam’s city center for the duration of the festival, illuminating and transforming its familiar monuments in magical and surprising new ways. You can make your way through the installations, or follow recommended routes for boats, bikes, or walking, which allow you to see the festival in its best light.
