  • If you can’t get tickets to watch Ajax, the Amsterdam Admirals also play at the Arena.

  • The top local team is Ricoh Astronauts.

  • The day afterHerdenkingsdag (Remembrance Day), Liberation Day celebrates the end of the Nazi occupation with impromptu speeches, concerts and open-air markets in the Vondelpark, Leidseplein, Museumplein and Rokin.

  • In a spectacular procession, floats proceed from Aarlsmeer, home of the flower industry (see Aarlsmeer Bloemenveilingen), to Dam Square, weighed down by countless varieties of flowers – but not tulips, which are out of season. Watch from Vijzelstraat rather than join the crush in the Dam. The illuminated floats make a magical return journey.

  • The RAI Derny Race is Amsterdam’s only criterium (road circuit).

  • See Ajax at their remarkable 50,000-seater stadium.

  • National and international stars perform classical music concerts at 20 historic locations around the three canals of the Grachtengordel. The highlight is a free piano recital given on a barge on Prinsengracht opposite the Pulitzer Hotel.

  • Amsterdamsche Hockey & Bandy Club are the ones to watch.

  • An exciting programme of theatre, music, opera, ballet and art staged at various venues in and beyond the city, the Holland Festival has earned itself a prestigious reputation, attracting top-flight performers from the Netherlands and abroad.

  • The city supports the popular Boretti Tigers.
