● Year-round● Half day● Windmills & harbour
Working windmills along the Zaan, wooden houses and a cheese farm in the morning, the old fishing harbour of Volendam and maybe Marken in the afternoon. Both are within half an hour of Amsterdam, so the whole tour fits in about five hours.
The Zaanse Schans is a neighbourhood of historic windmills, warehouses and green wooden houses on the river Zaan. Walking around is free; some windmills, workshops and the Zaans Museum charge a small entrance fee.
Arrive early in the day and you have the paths almost to yourself.
Volendam is a lively harbour town with smoked fish stalls along the dike. Marken, a former island a short drive away, is quieter, with wooden houses and a lighthouse. Your chauffeur suggests the order depending on the time of day.
Most guests book five hours for both places. With lunch in Volendam, book six.
