Koningsdag Plans Finalized Across Dutch Cities

Transport restrictions aim to keep crowds moving through busy centers.

Overview

  • Local authorities set Monday’s Koningsdag schedules, and forecasters expect sunny, dry weather near 15°C that should make outdoor markets and concerts run smoothly.
  • Rotterdam designates selling from 05:00 to 17:00 at Beijerlandselaan, part of the Binnenrotte, Eendrachtsplein, Nieuwe Binnenweg and Westersingel on a first‑come basis, with road closures, no trams on Beijerlandselaan and Nieuwe Binnenweg, and no metro service between Beurs and Voorschoterlaan due to works.
  • Utrecht’s citywide flea market starts Sunday at 18:00 and continues until 18:00 on Koningsdag, with music events on central squares running from 13:00 to 20:00.
  • Arnhem’s program features a kleedjesmarkt and open podium in Sonsbeek Park and a free Stadhuishal concert, with the mayor opening the festivities at 12:00 and performances at 14:00 and 15:00.
  • Festival lineups in Rotterdam include Kralingse Bos Festival from 13:00 to 23:00 with Antoon, Flemming, Maan, S10 and Hermes House Band, while popular events like Oranjebitter, Koningsdag Noordplein and Kroonjuweel may have limited or sold‑out tickets.
