Cultural Highlights Jan 2013
The official opening of Amsterdam 2013 will take place in the second week of January. Next to all of the opening activities of the jubilee year, there will be much to experience throughout Amsterdam. For example, the first Amsterdam Hotel Night is scheduled, the kick-off of Amsterdam 24H, plus the opening of several special exhibitions in the Amsterdam Museum and Rembrandthuis. And if there is ice on the canals, the 2013 programming will be adjusted accordingly.
