Watch live demonstrations of clog–making from local craftsmen. Move on through the distinctive polders of the Beemster area to Edam, pearl of the Zuiderzee. Take a stroll around Edam's ancient streets and have the opportunity to see how Edam's world famous cheese is made and, of course, taste it in a close by cheese farm. Finally, stop in the beautiful seaside fishing village of Volendam. Pick up souvenirs for those at home or a memento for yourself, and try on a traditional Dutch costume. Take a short walk through the oldest parts of the city, such as St. Vincent's Church, the wooden Stolphoevekerk and the Visafslag (fish auction).
