About
Dutch Blockchain Week is the largest blockchain event in the Netherlands, a city-wide programme of conferences, meetups and side events held across Amsterdam. The 2027 edition runs from 17 to 23 May 2027, anchored by the DBW Summit on 19 and 20 May at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. The week covers the breadth of the blockchain and Web3 landscape: digital assets and tokenization, decentralized finance, enterprise blockchain adoption, the European regulatory framework, and the intersection of blockchain with payments, identity and artificial intelligence. Its format combines a central summit with community-organized satellite events throughout the city, drawing startups, established financial institutions, developers, investors and policymakers from the Dutch and wider European ecosystem. Attendees gain exposure to the full local Web3 community in a single week, access to decision-makers from both crypto-native firms and traditional finance, and a practical read on how European regulation is shaping the industry. For anyone active in blockchain in the Benelux region, Dutch Blockchain Week is the year's central gathering.

Planning your trip to Amsterdam
Contains sponsored linksDutch Blockchain Week spreads across Amsterdam from 17 to 23 May 2027, with the central DBW Summit on 19–20 May at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in the city's southeast. Mid-May is Amsterdam at its best — 15–19°C, long evenings and canal-side terraces in full swing — but it is also peak season, so the week's satellite events around town reward booking accommodation early. Base yourself near a metro line and the whole program stays within easy reach.
Getting there & around
Schiphol Airport (AMS) is one of Europe's best-connected hubs. Direct trains reach Amsterdam Zuid in 10 minutes and Bijlmer ArenA — the station facing the summit venue — in about 15, so arriving delegates can be at the stadium within half an hour of landing. From the city center, metro lines 50 and 54 run to Bijlmer ArenA in roughly 20 minutes. A multi-day GVB pass covers trams, buses and metro.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Welcome Pickups. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Dutch 5G coverage is excellent and EU roaming is free for European visitors; travelers from elsewhere should load an eSIM before departure so wallets, exchanges and two-factor apps work from the jet bridge onward. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Canal cruise through the Grachtengordel. Seeing the 17th-century canal ring from the water is the fastest way to understand Amsterdam, and May evenings are ideal — boats run until well after the day's sessions end. One-hour cruises leave constantly from Central Station and Damrak; open-boat options are worth the slight premium in good weather. Tickets on Tiqets →
Rijksmuseum. The national museum's Rembrandts and Vermeers anchor any first visit to the city. Timed tickets keep queues manageable, but May is high season: book a 9 a.m. slot and you can cover the Gallery of Honour in 90 minutes before midday side events. The museum garden is free and quietly excellent. Tickets on Tiqets →
Johan Cruijff ArenA stadium tour. Since the summit occupies Ajax's home ground, arriving an hour early for a stadium tour is a natural move — dressing rooms, players' tunnel and a view from the stands the conference floor won't give you. Tours run most days and take about 75 minutes; check availability around the event schedule.
De Pijp and the Albert Cuyp Market. Amsterdam's liveliest neighborhood market runs Monday to Saturday along Albert Cuypstraat, ringed by some of the city's best casual restaurants — ideal for an informal meetup away from the week's official venues. Try fresh stroopwafels from the stalls. Fifteen minutes from the center by tram 24.
Good to know
How do I get to the Johan Cruijff ArenA for the DBW Summit?
Take the train or metro to Bijlmer ArenA station — about 15 minutes from Schiphol by direct train or 20 minutes from the center on metro 50 or 54. The stadium is directly opposite the station.
What is Amsterdam weather like in mid-May?
Mild and mostly pleasant: highs of 15–19°C with occasional showers and long daylight until after 9:30 p.m. A light jacket covers the evenings; rain rarely lasts long.
Should I stay near the ArenA or in the city center?
The center is the better base: most Dutch Blockchain Week side events happen in town, and the ArenA is only 20 minutes away by metro. Hotels around Zuid or the Amstel corridor split the difference well.
