Eating and drinking in Amsterdam
A trip to Amsterdam offers the perfect opportunity to try some indulgent treats as many of the city’s delicacies, including cheese, waffles, and frites, are definitely a little on the unhealthy side. One of the best ways to discover Amsterdam’s culinary delights is by taking a walking food tour where you can sample everything from mini pancakes to raw herring!
To shop for your own specialties, visit Albert Cuyp street market which has been the city's favourite market for the last 100 years. Wander among flower vendors, browse handmade clothes, and pick up some caramel filled stroopwafels. For charming cafés, incredible restaurants and pancake houses, head to the pretty Jordaan district where you will find plenty of options.
One of Amsterdam’s top exports is Heineken beer, and you can see where it was first brewed by visiting the Heineken Experience. You’ll learn about the brewing process, heritage, and brands sponsor activities during a 90 minute self-guided tour, and you’ll even have the chance to pour your own pint!
