Start your day at the iconic Maritime Museum, where you’ll hear a bit of history before heading into Kadijken—a tucked-away island neighborhood in the heart of Amsterdam. As you wander its quiet streets, your guide will share stories of sailors, warehouse fires, and stolen statues, all with surprising ties to beer.

Next, dive into the local food scene at a multicultural market. Sample street snacks, taste award-winning fries, visit a cheese shop, try Dutch herring, and enjoy warm, freshly baked cookies.

After the food, unwind with a craft beer tasting in a former Amsterdam washhouse turned local bar. From there, you can stick around for more drinks or follow your guide’s recommendations to explore more hidden gems, great brews, and tasty bites at your own pace.
