Check in at one of three piers in central Amsterdam, then hop in your boat. Travel independently, or bring along family and friends. Each boat can accommodate up to four people.
See Amsterdam how it was meant to be seen while floating around the busy waterways. Enjoy unfettered transport, drinking in the gorgeous architecture as you go. Seek out top attractions including Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum, and slow down to take pictures when and wherever you wish.
After one and a half hours on the canals, sightseeing at your own pace, return the paddleboat to one of three rental piers, where you can then disembark.
House of Bols
Upgrade to include entrance to the innovative House of Bols Cocktail and Genever Experience. Located on Museumplein, this fascinating attraction provides insight into two of Amsterdam’s oldest and most famous spirit brands: Bols and Genever, the Dutch equivalent of gin.
Stimulate your senses with an independent ramble through the interactive exhibitions before winding up in the sleek Mirror Bar, where you can ask the mixologists to shake up a delicious cocktail.
Please note: House of Bols will be closed from January 5 to 22, 2015.
Heineken Experience
Want to discover more about Amsterdam’s most famous export? Upgrade to gain admission to the old Heineken brewery, where the iconic beer was produced from 1867 up until 1988. Trace the brewing process, learn about the evolution of the logo and check out vintage brewing equipment, as well as taking part in interactive exhibits that reveal more about the brand’s long and storied history. Finish up with a free beer tasting.
Xtracold Icebar
Fancy a chilled drink or two? Upgrade to gain access to Amsterdam Xtracold Icebar and to enjoy three drinks. On arrival, get kitted out with thermal ponchos and mittens then enter the frosty lounge, where everything — from the chairs to the walls to the glasses you drink from — is made of ice. Spend 30 minutes acclimatizing to your ‘cool’ new surroundings, and sip on either a Smirnoff cocktail or a Heineken beer.
Please note: Amsterdam Xtracold Icebar is closed from January 19 to February 6, 2015.
