Jumping Amsterdam brings world-class equestrian sport to the city. In late January 2027, RAI Amsterdam hosts World Cup dressage and show jumping, drawing around 45,000 visitors over four days. Exact dates to be confirmed.

Top sport and show

Since 1958, Jumping Amsterdam has been a fixture on the international circuit: Olympic riders compete in the FEI World Cup qualifiers for both dressage and jumping, with Grand Prix evenings that combine sport with entertainment, music and shows. The Friday and Saturday evening sessions are the hot tickets, mixing serious competition with a night-out atmosphere.

Good to know for visitors

• Programme: daytime sessions are calmer and cheaper; evening galas are the spectacle
• For families: weekend afternoons offer kids’ activities and a village square with shops
• Dress code: none – but the champagne bars invite dressing up

Practical information

• When: late January 2027 (Thu-Sun) – see jumpingamsterdam.nl
• Location: RAI Amsterdam, metro 52 or tram 4 to Europaplein
• Tickets: per session; evening galas sell out first

January is a lovely quiet month in the city: combine the horses with the final days of the Light Festival and a crowd-free canal cruise.
