Why parking during the Amsterdam Light Festival is difficult
During the Amsterdam Light Festival, the centre of Amsterdam is particularly busy. Many visitors arrive at the same time, especially in the evenings and at weekends.
Limited parking space in the centre
There are hardly any parking spaces along the canals where the festival takes place. Most streets are narrow and intended for residents and local traffic.
High parking fees
Those who do find a spot often pay a high hourly rate. The costs can add up quickly during an evening stroll past several light art installations.
Heavy traffic and road closures
During the festival, traffic restrictions are regularly in place. This makes it difficult to find a suitable parking space quickly.
