Take a day trip by bus from Amsterdam for a comfortable break into deep-rooted Dutch tradition! Travel beyond breathtaking countryside, connect to free Wi-Fi, and get carried away by the iconic windmills.

At first, Zaanse Schans welcomes you to a village like no other. Walk around at leisure; admire the windmills that are perfectly preserved and the quaint old houses. Onwards now to Volendam, the lively fishing village. There, visit a cheese shop where the old ways are still used, and enjoy an instructive Volendam cheese presentation. Then, enjoy a fine lunch in a traditional fish restaurant (at your own pace and cost), after which you can explore the rest of Volendam's treats.

For the ultimate Dutch experience, choose to pay in full, cover a beautiful boat ride to Marken, enter a working windmill, and see an interesting demonstration of clog-making!

The itinerary is subject to change due to traffic conditions, roadworks, and other unforeseen circumstances.
