On Saturday, October 18, 2025, Amsterdam will fill with walkers experiencing the city in dreamy silence and vibrant energy during the Amsterdam City Walk. An event that literally connects streets, parks and iconic spots - a tribute to the city that breathes and moves under the feet of its residents and visitors.
The City Walk offers six carefully mapped out routes, ranging from 10 to 33 kilometers. They lead participants through characteristic cityscapes and hidden corners: from the graceful curves of the Prinsengracht to the silent green-slingers of the Vondelpark, along the charming Skinny Bridge and through lively neighborhoods where Amsterdam life becomes visible in the street music and the smells of fresh coffee.
Starting points vary by distance - the longer distances start at the impressive Olympic Stadium, while the shorter ones seek the pulse of the center at Rembrandtplein. The finish line is the same for everyone: the lively Stadionplein, where live music from choirs and folk singers echoes and typical Amsterdam delicacies caress the taste buds.
"Walking through Amsterdam is like reading an open book, where every street whispers a different story and the city reveals its heart to you."
The Amsterdam City Walk is not only a sporty ride, but above all an ode to the city - a playful exploration that invites young and old to tune in to Amsterdam with all their senses. Although registrations for this edition have now closed, the images and memories of this day linger among the canals like a soft afterglow.
For those who want a taste in advance, there is scintillating inspiration via several online videos from previous editions, capturing the city in all its glory - the murmur of water, the whisper of autumn leaves, and the enduring warmth of togetherness. The walking form of Amsterdam is an invitation to anyone who wants to feel the city in its purest form.
When the next edition will take place is still unknown, but this annual walk remains a jewel in the Amsterdam calendar for those seeking space - in body and mind - in the midst of a city that never stands still.
