Go to the old Heineken brewery early and book yourself on the second tour of the day, the entrance fee for which goes to charity.
You have time for breakfast in a local bar before the tour. Your visit goes through the stainless steel fermentation tanks to the top of the building, where you'll discover the best view of Amsterdam, and ends in the hospitality lounge.
Prove it’s your birthday and you are presented with a Delft tankard!! Afterwards, stroll to the Albert Cuypstraat market, enjoy the street-life and pick up supplies for a picnic lunch in Sarphatipark.
