Highlights of Amsterdam Light Festival Canal Cruise
- Amsterdam\'s Annual Light Festival brings the city to life with unique light sculptures, and light projections from national and international contemporary artists. Many sculptures line the banks of the canals, cross over the water above the boats roof, adorn the bridges, and float on the water itself in a magical display of colour and light that cannot be admired in the same way on a walking tour or Segway tour.
- In 2017-2018 30 sculptures were selected from over 300 entries to liven up the dark winter nights of the city. Some of the light displays use cutting-edge technologies while others take a simpler yet equally beautiful approach.
Is It Suitable for Me?
