Perfect parking for Amsterdam Light Festival 2025/2026

Amsterdam Light Festival: Amsterdam's most enchanting event

Every year, the Amsterdam Light Festival transforms the city centre into one big open-air museum full of light artworks. The walking route along the canals, iconic bridges and historic buildings attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors. During edition 13, you will again admire artworks by international artists, designers and architects.

The festival takes place around the canals: from the Herengracht to the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, making parking in the area often expensive, difficult or full. That is why more and more visitors choose APCOA PARKING: central, safe, affordable and always close to the route.
