Amsterdam King's Day 2027 as a Day Trip
The street market runs 06:00 to 20:00 on the day, so you don't need the night before.
King's Day 2027 is Tuesday 27 April, and Amsterdam goes orange for it. Here's what tends to get said about doing it in a day that isn't right.
"You need to be there the night before"
King's Night is the evening before, but the main bit, the street market, runs 06:00 to 20:00 on the day itself, so a day trip gets you that.
"It's a weekend thing"
Not in 2027, it falls on a Tuesday. Heathrow on KLM is £177.65 all in, £134.00 of flights and £43.65 on the ground, 8.6 hours, out at 06:30 and home at 20:55. Manchester on easyJet is the same £177.65 with 8.1 hours. Both checked 26 Oct.
"Getting back to Schiphol is easy"
Trains still run to Schiphol on the day, but it's one of the busiest days of the year in the city, so give yourself extra time.
"It costs a fortune once you're in"
The street market and the street parties are free. Fares are on the King's Day page.
