All of us (at least those of us over the age of 18) know the wonderful beer brand Heineken. One of the leading beer brands in the world, Heineken began its journey in the city of Amsterdam over 130 years ago, and is currently considered one of the 1,000 largest companies in the world.
The Heineken experience is actually an interactive museum that will take you to immerse yourself in the beer world of the old Heineken brewery, where you can touch, learn, feel, look, smell and even taste.
The whole experience takes place in the most authentic place - the original Heineken brewery in the heart of the city of Amsterdam, which was closed in 1988 because the small brewery could not keep up with the demand for the production of the popular beer.
In the authentic building you can learn about Heineken's heritage - how the beer is made, what are the latest innovations in the world of beer and alcohol, important historical events and the story behind the famous brand. Of course, you can't visit a brewery without tasting, so during the tour you will taste the famous beer and learn about the best way to drink chilled beer.
The tour of the museum is an hour and a half long tour, during which you will move independently between the different and diverse parts of the museum. The tour ends at a beautiful bar where you will enjoy 2 cold beers, included in the ticket price.
