Boot huren Amsterdam Light Festival

Amsterdam is ablaze this winter. The beautiful old town is transformed into a true festival of light. A range of sculptures, projections and installations produced by contemporary international artists decorate the inner city. The sailroute leads you through the Amsterdam canals and the Amstel, all lit by various works of art. This festival is organized with a conscious view on sustainability. The light design meets the latest standards and uses the latest LED technology. Amsterdam Light Festival is thus a good example of the merging of art and technology. Enjoy this unique festival from the water with one of the boats of Bootnodig!
