Zaanse Schans, Marken, Edam & Volendam - Day Trip

Iconic Dutch sights
If you ask anybody what pops into their mind when they think of the Netherlands, most people will say windmills, tulip fields and the lively centre of Amsterdam. Its picturesque canals, historic buildings, exotic nightlife, and open-minded culture stand out.
