The finish takes place on the Keizersgracht crossing Reguliersgracht. From the bridge Reguliersgracht you will have a limited view of the incoming swimmers in relation to the participants zone and the finish gantry. For the swimmers we organise a quick passage to the buses at the Vijzelstraat (which bring them to the start area again), to ensure the passage Reguliersgracht / Keizersgracht will be closed on the odd side.

Public that wants from the Herengracht to the Prinsengracht, requested to walk around through the Utrechtsestraat.

Cruising Traffic

The entire route of the Amsterdam City Swim is completely sealed from boating traffic. It is also not possible to construct with a boat on the trail. This is in connection with the safety of the swimmers. Keizersgracht has been completely closed since Thursday, September 8th for all the boating traffic associated with the construction of the finish construction.
