What's On in Amsterdam

As winter settles over the city, Amsterdam begins to glow. From 26 November 2026 to 17 January 2027, Amsterdam Light Festival returns to the city and celebrates its 15th edition with a brand new route, transforming the canals to a canvas for local and international artists with light artworks.

Experience the festival, until 10 January, from the water aboard our saloon boat the "Tourist". Departing directly from Pulitzer Amsterdam, both shared and private cruises offer an unique experience through Amsterdam's most enchanting winter tradition. 

Step, from 11 September 2026 to 17 January 2027, in the world of Yayoi Kusama at the Stedelijk Museum. Discover an immersive exhibition where Kusama's signature dots, mirrored spaces, and large-scale installations unfold into a mesmerising universe.

At Pulitzer’s Bar, cocktails have always told stories. With Frequencies, the latest menu turns up the volume.

Bringing taste and sound together, Frequencies pairs fourteen cocktails with fourteen tracks personally selected by Amsterdam DJ, musician, and radio host Elias Mazian. From soul and jazz to house and R&B, each song has been chosen to reflect something in the drink it accompanies, whether a mood, a flavour or simply a feeling.

With Bowers & Wilkins headphones at the ready, all that is left to do is choose a cocktail, press play and listen a little closer.

What’s your frequency?

There is no better way to experience Amsterdam than from the water. Step aboard ‘The Tourist’ for a comfortable seat on this teak wooden classic to admire canal houses passing by while the captain shares his insider’s stories, either on daily group tour or private tour. Our “Belle” open boat creates a beautiful setting to experience the Amsterdam way on a so-called ‘sloep’, for the ultimate private experience.
