After a long morning with Vermeer and Rembrandt, the best reward in the museum quarter is a 7-minute walk away. Amsterdam Chocolate Factory sits at Leidsestraat 87, between the Rijksmuseum and Leidseplein. Handmade truffles, single-origin chocolate bars and a quiet interior designed to slow you down after the museum crowds.
