King’s Dag 2023 ended successfully without any major accidents, and the weather was unexpectedly sunny.

Royal family visits Rotterdam to mark the King’s 10th anniversary^th The accession year went without a hitch and was a “great party,” police said.

The Dutch railway company NS had warned that trains would be packed in the evening as people were on their way home.

And earlier in the day, officials in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Breda warned visitors not to come to the city centers because of the crowds.

Oh, just one more. I’ve seen people walking around the Koningsdag buying weird stuff. Old lamps, weird paintings, weird ornaments, weird 60’s board games. What?!! #koningsdag #Leiden #Koningsdag2023 # was a god of death pic.twitter.com/9UXfjHx67O
