1 – Amsterdam Light Festival – Amsterdam is home to what could be the most dramatic light festival in Europe, with exclusive lighting creations that look fantastic from land and water alike. As in previous years, the installations are set up along the canals, making a boat tour the best and most comfortable way of seeing them all. One must-see is "thinline", an artwork by famous Chinese artist Ai Weiwei that unwinds along the full extent of the water exhibition for over 6.5 km. A new development for 2018 is the land exhibition, which is set to take place on Marineterrein Amsterdam − in close proximity to Amsterdam Central Station.
- When? 29 November 2018 to 20 January 2019
- Getting there by train: You'll be in Amsterdam in no time at all with a Thalys or ICE express train. Alternatively, you can take a classic InterCity train. Book your Amsterdam trip >

This tour of Lyon will be sure to linger in the memory long after it ends.
