Journey Timeline
Amsterdam rarely sees heavy snow, so the snowfall on January 5, 2026, was enough to transform the city's bike paths and canal-side streets into a quiet, white-covered landscape for a few hours. This short walk moves through the Overtoom area, a busy street connecting the city center to Amsterdam's western districts, running along the edge of Vondelpark.
The Dutch famously keep cycling through almost any weather, and the video shows exactly that — delivery riders and commuters pushing through the snow on bikes built for a city that rarely plans for it, while pedestrians pick their way along suddenly slippery pavements.
