How you can participate in the lottery and get a chance to win the prize of the first draw on March 30th: a trip to the first event in Amsterdam!

You will visit the event in Amsterdam but during this weekend trip you will get the chance to see a lot more of the city. That’s why we’re taking a closer look on what to experience in the city of tulips and stroopwafels.

Amsterdam’s iconic canals are more than just a pretty sight—they’re a window into the city’s rich history and culture. Hop aboard a canal cruise and meander through the city’s waterways, passing by historic landmarks, charming houseboats, and picturesque bridges. It’s the perfect way to soak in the city’s beauty while learning about its fascinating past.

For art fans, Amsterdam is a treasure waiting to be discovered. Explore the masterpieces of Dutch masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, or check out the modern works on display at the Van Gogh Museum. With countless galleries and museums scattered throughout the city, there’s no shortage of cultural delights to explore.

In Amsterdam, bicycles are the masters of the street. Join the locals and rent a bike to explore the city like a true Dutchman. Pedal your way through charming neighborhoods, bustling markets, and verdant parks, taking in the sights and sounds of Amsterdam at your own pace. With dedicated bike lanes and flat terrain, cycling is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the city’s laid-back atmosphere.

Amsterdam’s food scene is as diverse as it is delicious. From traditional Dutch dishes like stroopwafels and poffertjes to international cuisine with Takumi as our personal favorites;) Be sure to visit one of the city’s bustling markets, such as Albert Cuyp Market or Foodhallen (a new Takumi opened there a little while ago), to get a taste of local specialties and mingle with food fans and locals.

Step back in time and explore Amsterdam’s rich architectural heritage. Wander through the narrow streets of the charming Jordaan district, lined with historic houses and cozy cafes. Marvel at the grandeur of the Royal Palace on Dam Square, or pay a visit to the Anne Frank House for a poignant glimpse into the city’s wartime history.

Architecture, Museums, and the EU
Brussels, the capital of Belgium, harmoniously combines historic grandeur with modern cultural life. Its architectural style is an homage to its rich history. Start your journey at the magnificent Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stroll through its stunning square surrounded by opulent guildhalls and the impressive Town Hall.

Don’t miss the Atomium, an iconic modernist structure offering panoramic views of the city. Nearby, the Royal Palace of Brussels, the official palace of the Belgian monarchy, is open to visitors during the summer months and showcases exquisite interiors and grand architecture.

For art enthusiasts, Brussels has a lot to offer. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium boast an impressive collection of works by masters like Rubens, Bruegel, and Magritte. Even for non art enthusiasts those names must sound familiar. The Magritte Museum, dedicated to the famous surrealist artist René Magritte, is also a must-visit.

Brussels is the heart of the European Union. You can visit the Parlamentarium which offers a dynamic and interactive experience, providing insights into the workings of the European Parliament and the EU. It’s suitable for all ages and available in all 24 official EU languages.

Food
Brussels’ culinary scene is as rich and varied as its cultural offerings. Indulge in traditional Belgian dishes like moules-frites (mussels and fries) and waffles. Don’t forget to visit a classic Belgian café, such as Café Belga or Le Cirio, to savor delicious pastries and coffee in a charming, historic setting.

For a more modern culinary experience, explore the Saint-Géry neighborhood, known for its trendy bars and restaurants. Here, you can sample local specialties and international cuisine, making it a perfect spot for food enthusiasts.

In Brussels, you’ll find five Takumi Restaurants, with the newest restaurant on Rue Sainte-Catherine 35. At all Takumi’s you’ll find your favorite ramen and the welcoming feeling of the Takumi Family.

Chansons
Brussels’ musical heritage is vibrant and diverse. As the city of Jacques Brel and the heart of the European Union, it offers numerous opportunities to indulge in musical experiences. Attend a concert at the historic La Monnaie Opera House or the BOZAR (Centre for Fine Arts), which hosts a wide range of performances from classical to contemporary music. For a more intimate experience, enjoy a performance at one of the city’s many smaller venues or jazz clubs.

Brussels outdoor activities
Brussels is also known for its beautiful parks and gardens. The Parc du Cinquantenaire, with its triumphal arch and wide lawns, offers a delightful escape for a leisurely stroll or a picnic. The Bois de la Cambre, a large urban park, is perfect for relaxing amid nature or enjoying a boat ride on its lake.

Cycling enthusiasts will find Brussels to be a bike-friendly city with numerous paths and trails. Rent a bike and explore the scenic routes through the European Quarter or along the Canal.

Embrace the Brussels Charm
From its grandiose squares and historic landmarks to its urban art scene and culinary delights, Brussels offers a unique combination of old-world charm and modern sophistication. Whether you’re wandering through its historic streets, enjoying a concert, or indulging in its famous waffles, Brussels promises an unforgettable experience.
