Frequently Asked Questions

The Heineken Experience is located at Stadhouderskade 78, 1072 AE Amsterdam, in the heart of the city, just a short walk from Museumplein and the Rijksmuseum. It sits in Heineken®'s original brewery building, which has been a landmark in Amsterdam's De Pijp neighbourhood since 1867.

From Amsterdam Centraal, the easiest route is tram 24. It stops directly at Marie Heinekenplein, right outside the entrance (this tram takes around 20 minutes). Trams 1, 7 and 19 also stop nearby. By metro, take line 52 to Vijzelgracht or De Pijp station (5-minute walk from there). You can also walk from Centraal in around 30 minutes via the city centre. We strongly recommend public transport, parking in the area is limited and paid.
