Amsterdam, A King’s day adventure

When the city turns orange

5 nights | Starting at $5,495 per person

A bucket-list experience

Amsterdam at its brightest

Amsterdam’s legendary King’s Day is an electric celebration where the entire city transforms into one giant festival of music, color, canals, creativity, and unforgettable energy. From sunrise to late-night dancing, the Dutch know how to celebrate, and Bliss Travels knows exactly how to help you experience it like a local.

Join Bliss and Edouard for an insider’s journey through Amsterdam exploring the canals, the art, the food, the craft beer, wines and history that make Amsterdam a “must do” city. Bliss Travels is the “go to” for the sophisticated traveler seeking authentic experiences and bucket list food and drink. Our week culminates in a custom led King’s Day celebration. Watch the streets come alive with open-air markets, live music, neighborhood parties, and playful street games around every corner. We’ll guide you through Amsterdam’s most iconic celebration.

Bliss will introduce you to the very best Amsterdam has to offer — from traditional Dutch bites and local specialties to exceptional cocktails, craft beers, and hidden culinary gems loved by locals. Between sites and festivities, you’ll savor exclusive tastings and unforgettable dining experiences curated in true Bliss style.

At Bliss Travels, we don’t just show you Amsterdam and King’s Day — we help you live it like an insider. It’s vibrant, it’s unique, it’s FUN — a true bucket-list, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

 
Thank you! It was an awesome trip, and I am so happy I did it. Great to spend time with you and meet some great people

Bliss itineraries are different

Our itineraries continue to evolve because we are constantly looking for new and unique things to see and do. We tailor our trips to the travelers attending, and select events to best fit their preferences. Providing Bliss-only access to our private venues means we sometimes have to work around personal schedules.   

What you see below is our best representation - before the trip is booked and we begin getting to know you - of what you can always expect from Bliss, and what our most popular events, menus and venues from past trips are. Every Bliss trip includes our private “Insider” excursions and events — there will be an exclusive wine-tasting, there will be multi-course chef meals and curated wine pairings, there will be excursions to must-see sites hosted by a private guide — but some of the dates and details may change. And we’ll be ready. That’s why we keep our schedules relaxed and leisurely!

Thank you again for making our first trip to Europe magical ❤️. The experiences you created and shared with us will forever be etched in our memories and carried in our hearts
