An excellent activity which was interesting for all ages (our group ranged from 14 months to 60 years old) and showcased a wide range of historical and modern facts in a really cool way.

About: Dam Square

Dam Square is the historical heart of Amsterdam. It is also the place of lots of local and national events. At the Dam Square you can find the Royal Palace, The New Church and The National Monument.

Dam Square is located in the city centre of Amsterdam, near Amsterdam Central Station. The National Monument at the square was built in 1956 as a memoriam of the Second World War victims. Because incredibly beautiful buildings surround the square it is very popular for tourists.

Heineken Experience

The Heineken Experience is located in the original Heineken Brewery. Gerard Adriaan Heineken bought this building back in 1863 when it was the De Hooiberg brewery. He then turned it towards the production of his eponymous beer. The building remained a brewery all the way up to 1988. It was then that it became a museum (and hotspot for Heineken consumption). Located in the vibrant neighborhood of De Pijp, the Heineken Experience is ideally situated for a canal cruise, and some city exploration that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Dam Square. Since 2001, it's been the world-famous Heineken Experience. After a year-long update and redesign in 2008, the Heineken Experience is more Heineken-y and Experience-y than ever before.
