Food Scene

Perfect low budget food in a really nice setting. On walking distance of the apartment. The restaurant is facing the river the Zaan. Such a beautiful location on a summer day but also perfect for the cosy winternights. Always busy so reservation is smart to do.

Nice place to see a typical Zaanse "smuiger'. This is what a fireplace in this part of Holland is called. Nice for a lunch or breakfast.

Sightseeing

Ofcourse the reason so many people visit this area. Go see the windmills of the Zaanse Schans. This is actually a residential area and the entrance is for free. If you want to avoid the crowd you can also go here in the evening. The mills will be closed then but you can walk around anyway.

Parks & Nature

If it's a nice summer day you can go here to take a swim. There are many sand beaches. Also a perfect park to go for a jog of a walk. There is a special part where the dogs can run free and there is a beach for the dogs to take a swim.
