Yogen Früz
For lovers of frozen yoghurt, Yogen Früz really is the place for you. This highly successful chain of outlets was started up by two brothers in the Canadian city of Toronto, and has since gained so much popularity that it now operates in a staggering 1400 locations across 47 countries.

Chocolate Workshops at Cacao
Amsterdam has a rich chocolate history, and at Cacao you can create your very own and feel like a real chocolatier. Upon arrival at the workshop, you’ll be offered a complimentary beverage before being given an interesting talk about the ingredients used at Cacao and a little bit on ‘chocolate theory’.
These workshops make for great days out for kids and adults alike, so no matter who you’re travelling with, you should definitely take advantage of this opportunity.
The Pancake Bakery
The Dutch are famous for their pancakes, and after a visit to The Pancake Bakery in the country’s capital, you won’t be surprised as to why. Located in a 17th century waterhouse on the iconic Prinsengracht canal, this is the perfect place to enjoy traditional pancakes.
The treats are cooked right in front of you in The Pancake Bakery open kitchen, so you might even be able to recreate the technique back at home.
How to Get There
The best way to reach all these tasty treats in Amsterdam is to take a flight from one of the many UK airports into Schiphol airport. From there, take a pre-booked Schiphol airport transfer direct to your accommodation. This is the most convenient and cost-effective way to reach your hotel.
Organising a Schiphol airport transfer will mean that you are greeted at the airport by a friendly and professional driver, who will be keen to help in any way possible. Booking your Schiphol airport transfer in plenty of time before your departure date will mean you can rest easy knowing that your travel arrangements are all sorted and that your journey from the airport will be as easy as possible, so this is highly recommended.
There’s more to Amsterdam than its rich history, exciting and diverse culture and stunning architecture. The city is full of sweet treats that will no doubt satisfy the taste buds of any traveller.
