Koningsdag (King\u2019s Day) is a national holiday in the Netherlands, celebrated on 27 April, the birthday of King Willem-Alexander; when that date falls on a Sunday, the holiday moves to Saturday 26 April. The next one is on Tuesday 27 April 2027, and the party already starts on Koningsnacht, the evening before. It is one of the most vibrant and widely attended public events in the country, attracting both locals and international visitors. The entire nation turns into a festive landscape dominated by the color orange, symbolizing the Dutch royal family, the House of Orange-Nassau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Amsterdam, the celebration reaches its peak. The historic city center, canals, and major squares transform into open-air venues filled with music, street performances, and markets. One of the most distinctive features is the vrijmarkt (free market): from 6:00 to 20:00 anyone may sell second-hand goods, toys and clothes on the street without a permit, although alcohol, live animals and perishable food are not allowed. Popular areas for visitors include Vondelpark, where many children sell toys and perform, the Jordaan and Museumplein, each offering a slightly different atmosphere\u2014from family-friendly activities to lively party zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout Amsterdam, Koningsdag features a wide range of events, including live concerts, DJ performances, and large-scale outdoor festivals; the ticketed festivals on the edges of the city may run until 22:00. Another highlight is the celebration on the canals, where thousands of boats fill the waterways, each decorated and playing music. This floating party is a unique way to experience the city, but it gets extremely crowded: some canals become one-way, and a boat may carry no more than 12 passengers plus the skipper (in 2026 skippers faced fines from \u20ac160).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museumplein e spostamenti<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Il Museumplein, la grande piazza davanti al Rijksmuseum, \u00e8 uno dei luoghi pi\u00f9 affollati della giornata, con palchi, bancarelle di cibo e folle immense vestite d\u2019arancione, soprattutto tra le 11:00 e le 16:00. Nel 2026 il comune l\u2019ha resa una delle tre zone di controllo della folla, insieme a piazza Dam e al Rembrandtplein, con controlli pi\u00f9 severi all\u2019interno e nei dintorni. Le strade del centro sono chiuse al traffico, nel centro circolano meno tram e autobus e sui treni l\u2019alcol \u00e8 vietato dalla sera prima fino alla mattina dopo: meglio arrivare presto, muoversi a piedi o in bici e controllare 9292.nl o NS prima di partire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
