From intricate sculptures to immersive installations, the festival showcases the creative talents of artists from around the world, captivating audiences of all ages.

Beyond the Lights Festival, Amsterdam’s dynamic culinary scene beckons with its eclectic mix of international cuisines and traditional Dutch delicacies. Travelers can indulge in stroopwafels from local markets, savour Indonesian rijsttafel, or sample fresh herring from street vendors.
