Festive Amsterdam
Magical Winter Festivities in Amsterdam
Welcome to Hotel Iron Horse, situated in the enchanting Overtoom, where your festive adventure in Amsterdam begins. After a smooth check-in, you're ready to immerse yourself in the city's holiday magic.
First on your itinerary is a visit to the iconic Dam Square, where the city's largest Christmas tree stands majestically. Adorned with over 40,000 lights and reaching a height of 20 metres, this tree is a spectacle to behold and marks the centre of Amsterdam's holiday celebrations.
After marvelling at the Christmas tree, make your way to Museumplein, home to the Ice Village, one of Amsterdam's most traditional Christmas markets. From December 13th to 26th, Museumplein transforms into a festive haven. Although the outdoor ice-skating rink will not be operational this year, the Christmas market itself is a must-visit. Surrounded by 45 charming Christmas chalets, Museumplein offers an array of delightful foods, traditional drinks, and a cosy atmosphere enhanced by fairy lights and holiday decorations. It's an ideal spot to indulge in holiday treats like poffertjes, raclette, and mulled wine.
Rembrandtplein, another popular destination, hosts an ice rink from November 15th, 2024, to January 4th, 2025. Here, you can enjoy the magic of ice skating amidst the winter festivities of the city.
During your explorations, don't miss the opportunity to sample Amsterdam's famous oliebollen. A visit to Bakker's Oliebollenkraam at Spaarndammerstraat 792 promises some of the city's best. This bakery on wheels, a favourite for over 35 years, serves up delicious oliebollen made from a family recipe, ensuring a taste of Amsterdam's holiday tradition.
Your evening concludes with a leisurely stroll back to Hotel Iron Horse, the twinkling lights of the city guiding your way. As you settle into your cosy room, you reflect on a day filled with the magic and charm of Amsterdam’s festive season.
Make the most of your next day in Amsterdam by renting bicycles from our reception. Cycle through the picturesque Vondelpark, or take a leisurely ride around the Oud Zuid district.
