It is a bit of a bike ride to get to Roest in the east of Amsterdam, but it is worth it. It banks on a canal, has a large terrace and café/shop, where you can buy drinks, boxes of crackers, cheese, crisps, cakes, even milk and cereal. The feeling is industrial, and the vibe is really relaxed. You could go there and combine it with a meal at Rosa & Rita, a nice converted shipbuilding hall where you can eat a fairly simple but tasty dinner. Located at: Jacob Bontiusplaats 1.

On the site of the company’s old brewery, the newly renovated attraction let’s you take a self-guided tour that’s tantamount to brew-worship. Learn the history of the Heineken family, watch Heinie commercials from around the world, visit the horse stables and make your own music video. In the Experience’s crowning glory – a multimedia exhibit where you actually ‘become’ a beer – you’ll get shaken up, sprayed with water and subjected to heat. Afterward you get to down a couple of cold ones (though we should point out the suds are dismissed as ‘old man’s beer’ by many locals, while being sold at a premium abroad). Allow 75 minutes for the visit and expect lots of company

As vital to Amsterdam as Rembrandt, canals and coffee shops on a sunny day there’s no place better than the Vondelpark. As people from all walks of life descend on this sprawling equivalent to New York’s Central Park, a party atmosphere ensues. Some kick back by reading a book, others hook up with friends to share a spliff or cradle a beer at one of the cafes, while others trade songs on beat-up guitars.
