Pace your portions
Samples are intentionally small—start with one offering at each stop to leave room for later bites or extras.
Watch for wet cobbles
Canal-side streets and market alleys get slippery after rain; wear grippy shoes to avoid slips.
Bring a digital charger
You’ll rely on your phone for the map and vendor info—carry a small power bank for peace of mind.
Plan for seating
Benches in Sarphatipark and Vondelpark are good rest spots; if you prefer indoor seating, arrive earlier to secure a table.
Comfortable walking shoes
Grippy, supportive shoes handle cobbles and brief standing at market stalls.
Reusable water bottle
Stay hydrated between tastings and reduce single-use plastic.
