The taste of Amsterdam

Away from the tourist trail, uncover the secrets of traditional Dutch cuisine and see a side of Amsterdam that often goes unnoticed. Walkthrough hidden alleyways, get on a boat and sail down the city's iconic canals while discovering the city's legendary history and tasting Dutch delicacies such as deep-fried bitterballen. Visit a centuries-old family-run butchery and taste some of the finest meat in the city. When in Amsterdam, eat herring the Amsterdam way – raw with a side of onions and pickles.

Think all European food is bland? Think again! The Dutch love spicy food and you can trace this back to the country's rich seafaring history.
