In February we had the pleasure of travelling with our Dutch friends to Zaanse Schans and then we finish with a visit to Voldendam.
Zaanse Schans has an open-air museum feel and has become a very popular tourist attraction with 2.5 million annual visitors. It is free to just walk around and take photos and videos.
The Zaanse Schans area was actually set-up in 1963 as a reserve for historic buildings from the region. The buildings were transported here by land and water to be restored.
The Zaan region is well-known for its green houses. It is thought that the green paint made of copper pigment had good weatherproofing qualities.
Volendam was a great spot for lunch followed by a walk through the village. Volendam is known for its streets, old fishing boats and the traditional clothing worn by some residents. The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters.
Come along and enjoy this extra long video. Thank you again to all my subscribers and I hope you have enjoyed these videos from Europe in February 2024.
