About this activity

Get ready to explore the Golden age cities of Hoorn and Enkhuizen. Both the cities are historic and played a key role in The Dutch Golden age. Away from the touristic Amsterdam, we will drive further up North and explore these 2 cities which are not only historic, but also located on what used to be Zuider Zee (Southern Sea).

You will get to enjoy monumental buildings, historic sites, great views and not to forget a unique side of The Netherlands often forgotten by most tourists.

Another bonus is a visit to the exceptional Zuider Zee Museum. Combing the outdoor and the indoor element the museum offers a great insight into the life of the locals who lived during the time of the Zuider Zee ( Southern Sea). You will not be disappointed.
