Unfortunately, you have to leave your furry friends at home. Pets are never permitted in the Heineken Experience.

Service dogs are welcome in the Heineken Experience.

Unfortunately, we have stopped brewing beers in our building. Nowadays, our former brewery has been turned into a brand experience. But do not worry, you will still be able to take a look at the original brew room and enjoy one or two fresh Heineken beer(s).

Yes, you can. For more information, please send an email to sales.experience@heineken.com.

We know that we probably have one of the best views of Amsterdam, and that it is nice to share some drinks and take pictures with your friends and family on a rooftop terrace. However, and because we are located at the city centre, we also have to respect our neighbours. This is especially important in areas where there are families and locals living. Therefore, we can’t open this area to everyone.

If you book our VIP tour, the tour guide will gladly take you upstairs to enjoy the view and a fresh Heineken beer.

Yes, of course you get to taste our delicious beer. If you’re of legal drinking age, that is. Our Heineken tours include two cold Heineken beers, and the VIP tour includes some of our finest craft beers, paired with Dutch bites.

Unfortunately we do not have our own parking facilities. The nearest car park is APCOA Parking Heinekenplein (link how to get there in e.g. maps) 200 meters away from the Heineken Experience.

In case you forgot your mask, we have extra masks at our entrance. But we encourage to bring your own (reusable) mask to reduce waste.

You can take all the time you need for your visit. Only your starting time (booked timeslot) is set. On average, the self-guided tour takes about 2 hours.

Yes, we offer a cloakroom service. You can leave your possessions (coat, bag, backpack, suitcase, umbrella or buggy) with us, free of charge. This way you can enjoy the tour without a care in the world.

On Saturdays, we are particularly popular, as this is our busiest day of the week. We do not offer any VIP tours or group visits that day.

We are open year-round, just like the city of Amsterdam!

Unlike Amsterdam, we need our beauty sleep. We would love for you to visit us during our opening hours:
- Monday through Thursday from 10:30 to 19:30 (last entry at 17:30).
- Friday through Sunday from 10:30 to 21:00 (last entry at 19:00).
- December 24th and 31st from 10:30 to 16:00 (last entry at 14:00).
- In July and August, we follow the weekend’s opening hours throughout the entire week.
- April 17th, 2021: 12:00 to 20:00 (last entry 18:15)

The legal drinking age in The Netherlands is 18+. Enjoy responsibly!

All our tours are in English. But, since we’re a global brand, we understand that doesn’t offer the best solution for everyone. You can download the Heineken Experience app, to get the best out of your tour, as well as experience it in a different language. Our app will enhance your visit even further! The app is available in the following languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Russian.

You can also get some quick help in your native language in the tour by checking the badges on our crew’s shirts; their pins show the languages they speak.

After purchasing your Perfect Match Tour, you will receive a unique code on your ticket. Reserve your timeslot for the ArenA via this link https://www.johancruijffarena.nl/stadiontour by filling in your unique code.

Your tour starts at the Heineken Experience. The boat leaves 2 hours after your visit at the Heineken Experience, giving you enough time to explore the brewery and enjoy your cold beers. You will depart at the canal in front of the Heineken Experience and will be dropped off at the A’DAM Tower; your final destination. Please note that the canal cruise is a one-way trip.

Our Perfect Match tour is the best combination between beer and football. You get access to both the Heineken Experience and the Johan Cruijff Arena. You can visit at your own pace and decide which timeslot suits you best based on our availability.

Please note that neither the Johan Cruijff Arena nor the Heineken Experience are arranging transportation between our two locations.

The VIP will take you around 2,5 hours, in which we will guide you through our brewery and explain everything there is to know about our company. To finish the visit, we will take you to our private (and secret) bar where we will serve five premium beers from our portfolio, accompanied by snacks that have been carefully selected to match the beers. In this intimate environment, you will have the chance to interact with the guide, as well as the other guests. All in all, our VIP tour is a definite ‘not to miss while in Amsterdam!

No, the unique code on each ticket can be scanned from the screen of your smartphone or tablet. Be green, keep it on screen.

Sadly, we are unable to give any refunds. Not even in case of circumstances beyond your control, such as public transport problems or personal circumstance. Still, we will do our best to help you.

It is absolutely possible to visit us as a group! You can buy up to 60 tickets in one go.

Considering that we experience particularly busy times on Saturdays, it is not possible to book groups during the weekend.

Tickets for any date are usually released three months in advance on this website. Due to COVID-19, tickets are now released 1 month in advance.

For approximately 14 months, starting in June 2021. Please note that during any renovation, unpredicted events can happen which might influence the duration of the construction. However, it is our ambition to complete the renovation within the given timeframe.

We will do our best to limit the impact of the renovation on the surrounding area by respecting specific rules (e.g. no construction before 8:00 am and after 10.00 pm) and by having an efficient planning process (e.g. combining delivery of materials to minimize noise).
One example is the use of a logistic hub outside the city center, where ‘working packages’ will be assembled each day, so only the necessary materials for that day will be transported in one truck instead of multiple deliveries. Unfortunately, there will be moments where some impact can be expected. This could be demolition work or adjustments to the constructional shell of the building. There will also be a crane situated in the back area for several months.
We will inform all neighbors in advance when we expect construction to be loud or impactful. Also, regular neighborhood meetings will be organized in order to provide updates

In the past, we received permission from the City of Amsterdam to relocate the exit of the Heineken Experience towards the Marie Heinekenplein. However, as this wasn’t favored by the neighborhood, we chose not to go forward with the plan. This will continue to be respected for the 2021/2022 construction. The entrance/exit of the Heineken Experience will remain at the Stadhouderskade.

This website will be updated regularly with additional Q&As as well as more precise timelines and information on public meetings. Please visit this page regularly.

Three areas will be renovated:
The entrance and exit area: the surface of this area will be increased by repurposing the current horse stables and using this space to welcome guests. The Store will be relocated and will be accessible for everyone, including those who aren’t taking the tour
The rooftop & the Moutzolder: This space will be accessible via an elevator in the entrance hall. In order to reach the roof, guests will first arrive at the Moutzolder bar, an area which will also be renovated
Logistics: The current storage space will be improved for more efficiency and less traffic. No new buildings will be built, the existing ones will simply be improved.

Please email us at renovation.experience@heineken.com and we’ll happily respond. During the construction, we will have a dedicated phone number to flag construction-related issues. It will be posted on the website in June.

There are three reasons that call for a renovation:
Safety is the main reason for the renovation. Guests queuing outside the former brewery building can be a traffic hazard and a safety risk. By creating a bigger entrance area, guests won’t have to queue outside, but will be invited inside the building instead
Maintaining Dutch heritage & sharing Heineken’s history: The Heineken Experience is the first built Heineken brewery. Maintaining this monumental building is important in order to share its rich history, including the former brewery functionalities
Lack of facilities: The Heineken Experience has welcomed an increasing number of visitors over the past years. However, the number of essential facilities has not increased. This will be tackled as part of the renovation

Yes, business events can still be hosted during the renovation. Some spaces won't be available for certain periods. However, there are other areas inside the Heineken Experience where we’d be happy to welcome you. Please contact our Events team for more details.

Most areas inside the tour will not be impacted by the renovation and we will do our utmost to make you feel warmly welcomed at the Home of Heineken. The entrance area may look different during various stages of the renovation, but this will not impact your experience.

Yes, we will continue to welcome guests during the renovation.

The Heineken Experience is a brand experience within Heineken’s oldest brewery, in the heart of Amsterdam. In 1988 the former brewery closed down, because we got too big for our boots. Today, the historical building serves as a venue where you can learn all about Heineken heritage, the brewing process, our sometimes crazy innovations, sponsoring and the story behind the star. You’ll also learn about the best way to taste and enjoy your Heineken beer.

Yes, but... the Heineken brewery is a historical building and unfortunately, this makes it difficult to make it wheelchair accessible. If you let us know you want to visit by wheelchair, by checking the box when buying your online ticket on our website, so we can make the necessary preparations for you to experience the tour with the least amount of trouble. We recommend booking a tour during weekdays before 13:00 CET to avoid the crowds as much as possible.
