The Rotterdam Night Walk is the perfect way to celebrate Christmas in style. On Saturday, December 27, 2025, the city invites you for an enchanting evening stroll through atmospheric streets and past iconic Rotterdam highlights.
Put on your walking shoes, let yourself be carried away by the lights of all the participants and discover the city in a magical winter setting.
Whether you're coming with the whole family, friends, or colleagues, there's a route for everyone.
Both routes start around dusk, allowing everyone to enjoy the winter lights and cozy atmosphere along the way. There are surprises and treats along the way, and at the finish line, a unique walking pin awaits as a souvenir of this sparkling evening.
What makes the Rotterdam Night Walk extra special is that you can help create the festive atmosphere. Bring lights, lamps, or other creative decorations to make the route shine even brighter.
This year, the Rotterdam Night Walk is supporting the Ronald McDonald House Sophia Rotterdam. The house offers families of sick children a warm place to stay close to their child at the Erasmus MC Sophia Children's Hospital. By participating, you'll not only be walking through the city but also contributing to this worthy cause. You can easily make a donation using the registration form.
The Rotterdam Night Walk has become a beloved tradition and attracts countless walkers every year. Whether you're here for the fun, the athletic challenge, the charity, or simply to experience Rotterdam in a different way, this evening promises to be an unforgettable experience.
