If the queue in front of the Van Gogh Museum seems endless, then drop it and visit another of Amsterdam’s cultural highlights: The House of Bols!
Maybe you haven’t enjoyed Bols liqueurs or genever for quite some time, but at the House of Bols you have a unique opportunity to relive the experience at the museum's “Hall of Taste”.
The House of Bols revolves around the rich history of the world’s oldest distillery: Lucas Bols, which dates back to 1575. Lucas Bols and Rembrandt were neighbours and Rembrandt once paid one of his exorbitant bills with a painting produced by one of his students. Today, the painting is on display at the museum.
Apart from tasting and smelling, you can find out more about the art of flair bartending at the Flair Booth where you can practice your juggling skills.
The House of Bols is located at Paulus Potterstraat 14 opposite the Van Gogh Museum. The entrance fee is € 10. This includes a free cocktail of your choice in the Mirror bar. Cheers!
