During Amsterdam Art Week 2025, we’ll take you to the most inspiring art locations in the city – at your own pace. Especially for visitors, we’ve created DIY tours by neighbourhood, so you can choose the route that best fits your day, style, or mood. From gallery-hopping in the city centre to hidden studios in Amsterdam Noord: each route offers a unique perspective on the city’s art scene.
