Jumping Amsterdam 2027

World-class show jumping and dressage in the RAI, with lively evening sessions that feel more like a show than a sporting event.
Horse and rider jumping an obstacle

Jumping Amsterdam is the capital’s big indoor horse show and has been running for more than six decades. Top international riders compete in World Cup show jumping and dressage, and the evenings turn into a proper night out with music and shows between the classes.

You do not have to be horsey to enjoy it. The jumps are huge, the arena is close to the action and there is plenty of shopping and food around the halls if the children lose interest.

  • When: Thursday 28 to Sunday 31 January 2027
  • Where: RAI Amsterdam
  • Tickets: from €15, check the official site for the full programme and prices
  • Getting there: Amsterdam RAI station is a short walk away, with trains from Schiphol and Amsterdam Zuid, or take metro 52 from Amsterdam Centraal to Europaplein.

Good to know: evening sessions are the most atmospheric and run late, so book a daytime session with young children.
