Get into the Heineken Experience. Visit the former Heineken Brewery, offering exhibits on Heineken’s rich history and tradition of beer brewing. Attractions include a mini brewery, a tasting bar, and the ‘Stable Walk’, where you can access the stables of Heineken’s iconic Shire horses which still deliver beer throughout the city.
Savor the flavor of Dutch cheese. Make sure to drop by De Jacobs Hoeve/Henri Willig cheese farm, where you can see how the famous Gouda cheese is made. Tour the farm to see the goats and sheep that supply the milk, and have a taste of their cheese made the traditional way.
Discover the beauty of nature. At the Keukenhof Gardens, touted as the world’s largest flower gardens, admire
the blooming tulips, amaryllis and other flowers. There are themed pavilions, floral mosaics, and more for visitors of all ages.
Treat your palate to Dutch flavors. Discover Dutch cuisine and sample their beers, or enjoy a cup of coffee at Amsterdam. Here’s what you should try:
Taste local cuisine and discover new specialties such as erwtensoep, pea soup with ham and smoked sausage; stamppot, mashed potatoes mixed with vegetables and served with meat and gravy; and suddervlees, slowly braised meat.
Amsterdam also has numerous watering holes where you can enjoy a drink or two. Check out the city’s thriving bar scene, chat with some locals and party Dutch-style!
Check out Amsterdam’s cafés where
you can spend a few hours enjoying a
sip of coffee as you read a magazine or newspaper, or have a chit chat with your friends. Amsterdam has a long tradition of café culture and this is best discovered at their grand cafés, which are spacious and very stylish places to unwind.

In Amsterdam, the water is the mistress and the land the vassal. Throughout the city, there are as many canals and drawbridges as bracelets on a Gypsy’s bronzed arms.
