Discover the timeless charm of the Dutch countryside with a visit to one of the region's iconic windmills -- either the Schermerhorn windmills, a historic trio offering a glimpse into the Netherlands' water management mastery, or Het Jonge Schaap, a working sawmill demonstrating centuries-old craftsmanship and technology.
Next, embark on a scenic drive through the postcard-perfect landscape, passing the quaint villages of Oosthuizen, Edam, and Volendam. Admire idyllic views of verdant pastures, meandering waterways, and charming traditional houses.
The adventure continues with a guided walk through the enchanting village of Broek in Waterland, where time seems to stand still. Stroll along tranquil canals lined with pastel-colored houses and experience the serene beauty of this hidden gem in the heart of the Waterland region. Your guide will share stories of the village's rich history and unique traditions.
End your day with some free time to explore Amsterdam at your own pace. Wander along its iconic canals, visit world-class museums, or simply relax at a cozy café.
