The Heineken VIP Tour is a 2.5-hour guided tour of the Heineken Experience, led by a personal guide and with around 10 participants per group. The tour takes you also into areas not open to general visitors, including the Heritage Quarter with a private collection of around 120,000 archive objects and one of two hidden bars where you will taste 5 premium Heineken beers, paired with snacks matched to each beer.
The Bols Cocktail 30 or 60 minutes workshop combines multimedia exhibits, interactive installations and a workshop where you learn the art of mixology. You will make two different cocktails and afterwards you can also another freshly prepared cocktail in the mirror bar.
The Heineken Experience is a self-guided interactive tour through Heineken's original Amsterdam brewery, built in 1867. The tour takes you through the full brewing process, the brand's history and a series of immersive exhibits, and ends with two cold Heineken beers. A good choice for visitors who want to learn about this iconic beer in a entertaining way.
The House of Bols Cocktail Experience takes you on a sensory journey through the history and flavours of one of the world’s oldest distilled spirit brands.
It combines multimedia exhibits, aroma installations and interactive games that explore the art of mixology. At the end of the tour you can enjoy a freshly prepared cocktail, which is included in your entree ticket!
The only museum in the world dedicated entirely to microbes, located on the ARTIS grounds in the heart of Amsterdam. The museum makes the invisible visible: living microbes, microscopes and interactive displays show you a world that's everywhere around you and inside you, but impossible to see with the naked eye. Entry includes daily Lab Talks with Micropia's own lab technicians and other interactive activities.
Two art shows, one extraordinary building and 325 works by the greatest painters in Dutch history. Fabrique des Lumières takes the art pieces off the museum wall and immerse you in a unique show with music that shifts from tranquil to fierce as the paintings move around you.
The 100 Highlighs Cruise is one of Amsterdam’s best priced canal cruise. It departs daily from Centraal Station, Damrak or Rijksmuseum or Leidseplein and takes you through the most known spots of the city like the Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum and the skinny bridge. The audioguide is available in more then 15 languages.
A complete lunch or dinner with dessert in one of the best-located restaurants in the city. Good food, generous portions and enough rock memorabilia to feel as if you are eating in a museum. The restaurant sits five minutes from Museumsquare and Leidseplein, the ideal place to eat between museums and sightseeing.
Soft light, water lilies and 150 years of Impressionism. The show follows the French painter through his life and masterpieces: the harbours of Normandy, the Seine at sunrise, the gardens of Giverny. All projected across 3,800 square meters of walls, floors and ceilings with music carefully chosen to make this a compelling experience.
Eight rooms of light, music and festival culture in a one hour. AMAZE takes you from the origin of sound through a laser show, a mirror maze and other surprising rooms. This is the only experience in Amsterdam built entirely around electronic music and the closest thing to a festival the city has indoors.
Moonwalkers is a 50-minute immersive experience co-created and narrated by Tom Hanks, built from thousands of NASA never seen before images. The exhibition focuses on the Apollo missions and the current Artemis programme, with interviews with active astronauts that give it a perspective that feels as much about the future as the past.
Rent a bike for €16.50 per 24 hours, long enough to cycle the historic centre in the morning, take a free ferry to NDSM in the afternoon, and still have time to bike somewhere for dinner. The bikes come with two locks, a phone holder and a city map. The staff adjust the bike to your height at pick-up and walk you through the lock system. Ideal for anyone who wants to move through Amsterdam the way locals do, without a fixed itinerary or a deadline.
