Schagen
Schagen is situated on an old mound, along the west side of the Westfriese Omringdijk. The friendly atmosphere can be felt when walking through the narrow shopping streets or sitting down at one of the terraces around the cosy market square, opposite the Grote Kerk.
Every Thursday morning (from the end of June to the beginning of September), you can imagine yourself in Schagen in times long gone. During Westfriese Folklore, you can marvel at a colourful parade of historic vehicles and Schagen people dressed in typical Westfriese clothes!
Alkmaar
Visit Alkmaar for the first time and you will never forget it. Alkmaar is, of course, known as the City of Cheese: for centuries, the world-famous cheese market has been held on Friday mornings from April to September.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is an hour’s drive away. Visit this world-famous 17th century capital of the Netherlands. Enjoy the historical buildings, beautiful museums and friendly atmosphere. Take a cruise through the canals, walk through the Vondelpark and shop in the old town. Amsterdam is unique in its kind!
