Westerkerk

The Westerkerk was built between 1620 and 1631 in Renaissance style according to designs by architect Hendrick de Keyser (1565-1621). He is buried in the church he designed earlier: the 'Zuiderkerk'. The building of the Westerkerk was finished and completed by his son Pieter de Keyser (1595-1676) and inaugurated on June 8, 1631. The church has a length of 58 meters and a width of 29 meters. The high nave is flanked by the two lower aisles. The three-aisled basilica has a rectangular plan with two transepts of equal dimensions. As a result, the plan for this church was given the form of two Greek crosses connected with each other.

Heineken Tour and Canal Cruise

It was interesting to see the brewery and learn the history of Heineken. The beer was refreshing. For 5 EU you can go to the rooftop bar and get a free beer, so it pays for itself. The craft beers at the rooftop bar were unique. The canal cruise was great. The narrator was a hoot!

Reserve this tour!

The canal tour was fun! We couldn't hear anything while we sat outside; but chose to be out enjoying the perfect weather while we cruised! Our tour guide was so kind and welcoming. The Heineken Tour was fun and getting to drink wasn't bad either! :)

The Heineken experience is a must do, the cruise- not so much.

Heineken experience - I was pleasantly surprised by the Heineken experience. Besides the informative tour, there is so much to do, including various fun activity stations, and photo stations that you interact with after the tour. There’s also a bar and lounge area at the end of the tour where you can relax and have a beer and just listen to music - great ambience, it has a club like feel. Of course, there is a gift shop and you can have items personalized, such as an Heineken bottle. Canal tou...read more
