Heineken Experience, Amsterdam (must see)
The Heineken Experience stands out as one of Amsterdam's most sought-after attractions, where the distinct flavor of Heineken is undoubtedly at its finest when savored at its source. Housed within the original Heineken brewery, this immersive experience imparts the rich history of Heineken and the world of beer, spanning back over a century and a half. Delve into this history, meander through the brewhouse, and venture to the stables where Shire horses, though primarily for ceremonial purposes, still make beer deliveries.
Following your informative tour, you'll have the delightful opportunity to savor a chilled Heineken, which you pour yourself. For enthusiasts of the brand, it's a delightful and enjoyable stop. However, if your primary aim is to indulge in beverages, you may wish to consider enjoying a beer at a nearby café, often available at a more budget-friendly price point.
