King's Day (Koningsdag) is the Netherlands' national day and one of the biggest holidays of the year. On Sunday, April 27, 2026, the entire nation will take to the streets to celebrate the birthday of King Willem-Alexander. Amsterdam is the epicenter of the King's Day celebrations. Over a million people will flood the streets, squares, and canals for the largest celebrations in the country. The city is famous for its canal cruises, where thousands of people ride in newly decorated boats and dance to music. On land, Museum Place hosts large outdoor concerts, while Vondelpark transforms into a flea market for children. For a more lively adult party atmosphere, head to the Jordan area, where street performers and live music are everywhere.

Absolutely beautiful experience. The artwork is so stunning. Whole experience plus taking photos took about 2.5 hours. If you have the time make sure to listen to the kids version as well, something extra on there 😉

Visiting the Anne Frank House was truly unforgettable. The museum is thoughtfully curated, the exhibits are moving, and walking through the Secret Annex gives a vivid sense of history. A must-visit in Amsterdam!
