Day 7 Amsterdam (Marken & Volendam - Zaanse Schans)

After breakfast, we will have free time. Guests who wish may join the optional Marken & Volendam - Zaanse Schans tour organized by our guide (75 €). As we visit Marken and Volendam, we will have the opportunity to observe the traditional lifestyle of the Netherlands, which will impress you with its nature and the rows of colorful houses. Once inhabited by fishermen, Marken transformed into a tourist destination after being connected to the mainland by a bridge, leading to the prevalence of crafts and traditional clothing production. The houses, built on stilts to prevent flooding, are still preserved today. We will reach Volendam, which is much larger than Marken, via a short journey over the bridge. Along the way, we'll visit various cheese producers and a cheese tasting workshop. After a brief free time for your shopping, we will head to Volendam. In this beautiful town, which was briefly frequented by famous artists of the 20th century such as Picasso and Renoir, you can see many locals dressed in their traditional outfits. While exploring the town, you will find historic fishermen's houses, museums, workshops, and shops selling handicrafts. In Volendam, known for its traditional dishes, you will have time for lunch. After visiting these two lovely villages, we will continue to the Zaanse Schans Theme Park, where we'll spend half a day. Located in Zaandam, this open-air museum reflects the rural life and industrial activities of the 18th and 19th centuries in the region. The area, famous for its working windmills, will allow visitors to see wooden houses built in traditional architectural style, workshops, and storage facilities, reflecting the history of the Netherlands.
