The canal cruise is a highlight of any stay in Amsyerdam. I appreciated the French explanations of the city's development over the centuries. A stroll along the water's edge, which quickly shows you around the city and counterbalances the euphoria of the center. Amaze, a great experience for electro music fans.

We went to a few attractions during our visit but I would say this is the one we spoke about the most. It was enjoyable from start to finish, we really loved the mirror maze where our images came up! We managed to snap them all and make a collage of them. Thanks so much Amaze!

It was kind of standard stadium tour with all the things you should see during such a tour. The guide was nice and energetic but I think self guided tour would be enough if you are not a huge fan of Ajax, just regular footbal fan :)

The house is stunning, and the urban art really resonated with me. Seeing works by Banksy and KAWS was incredible, and the immersive Studio Irma installation made the experience truly magical.

I didn’t really know what to expect from the Heineken Experience, but it completely exceeded my expectations. It was fun, interactive, and surprisingly engaging — I would definitely visit again. The Moco Museum was also great, especially the digital art rooms. I loved the colors and the overall atmosphere, although it did feel a bit crowded at times with too many people in the same rooms. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and a great combo to do in Amsterdam.
