Fathersday weekend Amsterdam tips

Don’t know which present to give your dad for Father’s Day this year (June 17)? We’ve collected a number of tips (18+) to show you that Amsterdam is the perfect city for a weekend away with your father.

Hard Rock Café Burger Cruise

Not on Father’s Day itself, but on the Friday or Saturday before: sail along with the Hard Rock Café Burger Cruise through the famous canals of Amsterdam. During the trip in Hard Rock style, a world famous Hard Rock burger is served with, of course, a delicious cold drink on the side. The tour boat leaves at 7 from the jetty directly opposite the Hard Rock Café. Buy your tickets here.

Heineken Experience

Another beer lovers experience: a visit to the famous Heineken Experience. In 1988 the former brewery was closed because the factory could no longer meet up to the high demands. Nowadays you can learn everything about the heritage of Heineken® via an interactive tour in English, Dutch, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese or Russian. Tip: buy your tickets on the official website. You will get a €2,- discount, two beers and a free map with the hidden treasures of the city.

Dad’s edition at BAUT

At restaurant BAUT they combine beer and a delicious 4-course lunch with .. soccer! In collaboration with Two Chefs Brewing, the restaurant will serve a lunch with special beer pairings on Sunday 17th, after which the World Cup match Germany-Mexico will be shown on a big screen. More information can be found on their Facebook page.

Watersports

Time to get active after enjoying burgers and beer? Watersports centre Sloterplas is the perfect location to be outside in Amsterdam. Sailing, supping, windsurfing, canoeing … here you can enjoy yourself on the water. And that within fifteen minutes of cycling from the centre of Amsterdam!

Johan Cruijff ArenA

The Johan Cruijff ArenA is the home of AFC Ajax. During the ArenA Stadion Tour you get a look behind the scenes of one of the most successful football clubs in history. Take a selfie in the Ajax locker room, visit the Ajax Gallery of Fame or imagine yourself the new coach of Ajax in the press room. Note: unfortunately it is not possible to do the tour on June 17th because of a concert by Beyonce and Jay-Z, but Friday 15 or Saturday 16 June is still possible! More information can be found here.

Discover Amsterdam the Dutch way

One of the best ways to explore Amsterdam is by bike. If you book a stay at Htel, you can also rent one of our Htel-bikes to discover the city the Dutch way! Want to make sure that there is still a bike available during your stay? Please contact our reservation team. Happy Father’s Day!
