Can't get Museum Night 2026 tickets? What else can I do in Amsterdam on Saturday, November 7?
You have good options. GLOW, the free light festival in Eindhoven, opens that same evening (November 7 to 14, theme "Connect"), about 1 h 50 from Amsterdam by car on a clear road. In the city, Pommelien Thijs plays Ziggo Dome that night and PAN Amsterdam is open at the RAI until 18:00. Or move your museums to another day and save the light art for the Amsterdam Light Festival, which opens on November 26.

GLOW from Amsterdam in one evening
Pickup at 16:30, about 18:20 in Eindhoven, walk the light art, drive back at 21:30, and you are at your hotel around 23:20. The drive is 1 h 50 each way on a clear road, so the evening fits in 7 hours with a driver. Opening night falls on a Saturday, so expect crowds; GLOW had not published its 2026 nightly hours on October 20.
