With more than 7 million flower bulbs planted each year, this park is a true floral paradise.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were amazed by the explosion of colours of the tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and other flowers that adorn its extensive gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without a doubt, a place where spring comes to life in the most spectacular way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we said, this visit can only be made during the tulip season, we planned this trip with that in mind.

We will find here, as in all the Netherlands, many cheese factories, I advise you to enter, the Dutch cheeses are delicious, you will find a great variety and all the houses have tasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pueblos-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pueblos-16.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pueblos-16-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Having internet is always important.

So we headed towards Volendam, about 25 kilometres away. As you can see, all the journeys are very short, but with a magnificent charm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br> We begin our tour in Volendam, a charming fishing village known for its colorful houses and traditional atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t miss the opportunity to explore its picturesque streets, it&#8217;s a beautiful town!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without many directions to give, just walk along the seafront and you will quickly notice that words are superfluous. You can get here from Amsterdam by bus on your own, or as I told you in the previous section, book a tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><iframe class=\"civitatis-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.civitatis.com\/widget-activities\/?affiliated=10563&amp;display=comfort&amp;cant=1&amp;lang=es&amp;currency=EUR&amp;destination=23&amp;activities=132&amp;transfer=0&amp;cmp=Widget_ESpueblosholanda&amp;width=100%&amp;hideButton=0&amp;centerContent=1&amp;typeSelection=manual&amp;color=5f9ea0&amp;typography=Montserrat&amp;removeBackground=1&amp;showShadow=1&amp;roundedButtons=1\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" data-maxwidth=\"100%\" style=\"max-width: 100%\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, we were really enjoying this tour, and this time, unlike the previous one, we chose to stay in Volendam to rest and continue the next day with two more towns, which are very close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chose the <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/nl\/bwspaander.es.html?aid=2008743&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotel Spaander<\/a><\/em><\/strong> it was a very good option, highly recommended.

It was early and there was still quite a bit of time before the first one left, so it was better to go by car and wait for them in Marken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I still think that doing it by<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitatis.com\/es\/volendam\/ferry-marken\/?aid=10563&amp;cmp=postpueblosholanda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> ferry from Voldendam <\/a><\/em><\/strong>must be spectacular, the price of the same round trip is \u20ac 16 or \u20ac 10 one way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then continue our journey to Marken, about 15 kilometers, formerly an island and with a unique charm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The place was once an island but was linked to the mainland by a fixed dike. Since the Middle Ages, Marken has lost about a third of its total area. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_0916-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_0916-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_0916-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_0916-3-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were captivated by the wooden houses and the peaceful atmosphere.

Walking through its cobbled streets, visiting the famous church of St. Nicholas and tasting the famous Edam cheese was an experience we did not want to miss! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tour was beautiful, and getting lost walking is always the best plan.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cheese market was held in Edam. During those years, local farmers would transport the cheese on board small boats and when the cheese was unloaded from the boat, the cheese carriers would take it to the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 1989, the cheese market has been revived as a tradition and a place of stalls for tourists. It is held during the months of July and August, on Wednesdays, a nice option if you are in Edam around that time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking through its streets will take us, as we said, to the square where the cheese market is held, or to the town hall, or to its church. As you will have seen, all the places we visit are different, and all with characteristics that give them a very special charm. Adding them to a tour from Amsterdam is, I think, a must if you visit this area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the tour you will pass by some tulip fields, we only stopped at a few, but there are also places where you can visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pueblos-10.jpg\" alt=\"Tulips &amp; Mills in the Netherlands\" class=\"wp-image-14555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pueblos-10.jpg 800w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pueblos-10-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The round trip if we had returned to Amsterdam would have been approximately 160 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can do all this by car as we did, it is a very good plan since you will organize your schedules.<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/es?a_aid=europaacompanada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">  We rent by car at Discovercars.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or you can also go on<strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitatis.com\/es\/amsterdam\/excursion-zaanse-schans-volendam-marken\/?aid=10563&amp;cmp=postpueblosholanda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an excursion from Amsterdam with an English-speaking guide<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, you will be more relaxed.
