Crowds, transport, weather, and accident around King's Day (Monday, April 27)

Utrecht asked partygoers on King's Night not to come to the city center anymore. According to the municipality, it was too crowded in several locations and routes. Squares were closed, and Amsterdam also takes measures against crowds every year.

On King's Day, train, bus, tram, and metro operators adjust their services. Travelers to Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Dokkum must pay close attention. Groningen has an overview of flea markets, festivals, and other activities per municipality.

King's Night will stay dry, but it will cool down significantly after sunset. King's Day starts dry and fairly sunny after a cool night. Cloudiness will increase later, and later in the week temperatures will locally rise above 20 degrees Celsius.

In West Brabant, nearly fifty vintage cars drove 85 kilometers around Oudenbosch on Sunday. In Rhoon, a parachutist died on Sunday morning during a landing at Essendijk. The man was resuscitated, but he died, and the police suspect an accident.
