Discover the special exhibitions in the museums

There are always exciting exhibitions and historical works of art to admire in Amsterdam's museums. On the occasion of the city's 750th birthday celebrations, there are some additional special exhibitions that are well worth a visit.

In the Rijksmuseum, you can see the exhibition on the art of printing in the Netherlands, which is one of the largest collections in the world. Here you can see the passage of time and the development of the city from a young trading town to the present day through the works of art. The exhibition is open from February to June.

Are you more interested in painting? Then visit the exhibition on painters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer, which is on display at Museum H'ART from April to August. The works are part of one of the largest and most important private collections of Dutch art from the 17th century.

If you want to see something different, the Allard Pierson is the place to be: from April to September, there is an exhibition on the history of food culture in Amsterdam. Find out what culinary traditions existed in the past, which dishes were particularly popular, which foods were used as medicine and what the social structures surrounding food were like.

Experience a classical concert

Combine your holiday at EuroParcs with a cultural highlight in a class of its own. Why not take a trip into the fascinating world of music and culture during your holiday?

A special experience awaits you in May 2025 at the famous Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The impressive symphonies of the Austrian composer Gustav Mahler will be performed here.

Choose a suitable date and enjoy one of Mahler's ten symphonies or the monumental work Das Lied von der Erde in the Great Hall of the Concertgebouw. Each performance promises an unforgettable experience that brings out the full splendour of Mahler's majestic music.

To ensure that you can secure your place at one of the concerts, you should purchase your tickets in advance.

SAIL Amsterdam 2025 - the maritime spectacle of the year

SAIL Amsterdam is a real highlight in the city's event calendar and attracts numerous visitors every five years. In August 2025, it will be that time again - the 10th edition of this spectacular event will take place from 20 to 24 August.

This year, the anniversary of SAIL Amsterdam coincides with the 750th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam, so you can also visit SAIL Amsterdam as part of the other celebrations.

Experience how an impressive fleet of beautiful traditional ships and extraordinary special ships sail across the IJ and dock right next to the city centre.

It's a fascinating spectacle that will delight both technology and history fans alike. Watch the ships on their majestic journey and let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere on the water.

Enjoy the unforgettable charm of Amsterdam

Would you like to enjoy the freedom to organise your day in Amsterdam spontaneously, without having to buy tickets in advance or plan your activities in detail? No problem - Amsterdam offers you countless opportunities to simply embark on an adventure and explore the city at your leisure.

Take a canal cruise directly from Amsterdam Centraal station and let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere of the canals. Cruise through the historic heart of the city and admire the characteristic Dutch architecture from the water. During the trip, you will also learn more about the history of Amsterdam.

After the tour, you can settle down in one of the cosy street cafés and unwind with a hot drink. Enjoy the unique flair that Amsterdam has to offer - watch the colourful hustle and bustle, listen to the conversations and let yourself be enchanted by the relaxed atmosphere.

And if you visit in spring, you will see the city in full bloom. In April, Amsterdam is transformed into a true tulip paradise. Everywhere in the city - along the streets, on bridges, in parks and private gardens - the beautiful flowers bloom in a wide variety of colours and shapes.

A walk through the city becomes a very special discovery tour, during which you will always come across an unusual tulip or two.
