Heineken Experience: Location and How to Get There

Reaching the Heineken Experience is convenient thanks to multiple transportation options suitable for international tourists and local visitors alike. Below is a comprehensive overview of how to get to this popular Amsterdam attraction using various modes of transport.

The Amsterdam Metro is the fastest way to reach us, especially for those staying near the North-South corridor. Take Metro Line 52 and disembark at the Vijzelgracht station; from there, it is a brief, three-minute walk to our front doors. This modern link connects you directly to Amsterdam Centraal Station in under 10 minutes, making it the most efficient choice for travelers on a tight schedule.

Navigating to the Heineken Experience by car is possible, though the narrow streets and limited street parking of central Amsterdam make it the most challenging option. For those who prefer to drive, the most convenient solution is to head toward the "Centrum" and use the APCOA Parking Heinekenplein garage, located just a two-minute walk from the main entrance. We highly recommend using a parking app to secure a spot in advance, as city-center rates are premium and spaces fill up quickly during the weekend

Several bus lines serve the area around the Stadhouderskade, providing easy access from various city neighborhoods. Routes such as the N82, N83, and N84 stop at the Vijzelgracht or Marie Heinekenplein stations, placing you just steps away from the brewery. Because the bus network is extensive, it’s a great alternative if you’re traveling from areas not directly served by the metro or tram lines.

While there is no train station directly at the brewery, the Heineken Experience is just a short hop from Amsterdam Centraal Station. Upon arriving by national or international rail, you can easily transfer to Metro Line 52 or Tram Line 24 to complete your journey in roughly 15 minutes. This proximity makes the experience a perfect first stop for those arriving in the city via Schiphol Airport or the Eurostar.

Embrace the local culture by cycling to the brewery, the preferred mode of transport for most Amsterdammers. There are numerous public bike racks located along the Stadhouderskade and near Marie Heinekenplein where you can secure your rental. While Amsterdam is incredibly bike-friendly, please remember to use a sturdy lock and park only in designated areas to ensure your bicycle remains safe while you enjoy the tour.

Walking to the Heineken Experience is highly recommended for those who want to soak in the architectural beauty of the canal ring. We are located just a 10-minute stroll from the Rijksmuseum and Museumplein, and a 15-minute walk from the Flower Market. Navigating on foot allows you to explore the trendy boutiques and cafes of the De Pijp neighborhood either before or after your tasting session.
