* Visit a windmill
Come and breathe the fresh Dutch air with a tour to Volendam and Zaanse Schans. Discover delightful countryside dotted with picturesque windmills, take a look inside a working windmill, and head to the pretty fishing village of Volendam. And to top it off, we visit the Cheese Factory in Volendam where you’ll be treated to a tasting.
From Amsterdam we head out into the open countryside to Zaanse Schans, where a unique peat meadow landscape awaits you. The oldest industrial area in Western Europe, its landscape is characterised by wooden windmills, barns and farmhouses, and one of few places in Holland where windmills are in use. You’re invited into a windmill by a local miller who will share their love and enthusiasm as they regale you with fascinating facts.
Next stop is the vibrant fishing village of Volendam, on the shore Ijselmeer. A lively and busy harbour, this is the perfect place to soak up the small town charm. Visit the Volendam Museum to learn all about the town’s traditions before touring the Cheese Factory and tasting the cheese. Enjoy some free time to explore the ‘Dijk’ on your own and perhaps try a delicious fish lunch or one of the local specialities.
