If you’ve ever experienced King’s Day (Koningsdag) in Amsterdam, you already know—it’s more than just a holiday. It’s an electric explosion of orange pride, street parties, boat parades, music festivals, and a contagious energy that takes over the entire city. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, navigating Amsterdam on April 27 can be both thrilling and, let’s be honest, a logistical headache. That’s where we come in.
At Taxi Transportation Services, we’re here to make your King’s Day experience smooth, stress-free, and unforgettable. Skip the packed trams, lost tourists, and endless walking—we’ve got your ride covered.
What is King’s Day?
King’s Day is one of the biggest national celebrations in the Netherlands. Every year on April 27, the Dutch honor King Willem-Alexander’s birthday with a nationwide party—and Amsterdam is the epicenter of it all.
The city transforms into a sea of orange (the Dutch royal color), and the streets, canals, parks, and squares fill up with music, flea markets, boat parties, food trucks, and smiling faces. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many, and a yearly tradition for those lucky enough to call the Netherlands home.
Why Transportation is a Challenge on King’s Day
Many of the main roads are closed. Public transport is rerouted. The city center turns into a pedestrian-only zone. With over a million people flooding the city, getting from point A to point B can be overwhelming. If you’re relying on bikes or walking, you’ll quickly find yourself dodging crowds, squeezing through alleys, or simply getting lost in the chaos.
Add to that the unpredictable Dutch weather, and suddenly your plans can turn from exciting to exhausting.
This is where booking a reliable taxi service can completely change your King’s Day experience.
