Volendam
Just beyond the borders of Amsterdam there is another side to Holland. A short train or bus trip away, the Metropolis wanes and idyllic vistas of the Dutch countryside flourish. Quaint villages and towns preserved in the past, treat us to a visual feast and bring us to Voluntown and Marken.
The two fishing villages of Volendam and Marken are a must-see for those who have never had the pleasure of visiting a small country. The historical costumes, the small wooden dike houses and traditional fishing boats have cast an enormous spell over painters and artists for centuries.

Lisse is famous for its beautiful flower fields and flower bulbs that are exported around the world. Tulips from the Netherlands are world famous in bloom from March to May.
At this time of year, the biggest flower park in the world, the Keukenhof opens its doors. Every year, 7 million flower bulbs are planted and overwhelm visitors with a spectacle of colours and perfume.
