Monnickendam

Monniken dam is one of the many villages on the Markermeer, just like Amsterdam, Volendam, Marken and Hoorn.

The small picturesque town has an eventful history that anyone will be reminded of while walking through the centre. One of those places is the gallows field in the harbour of Monnickendam, which was intended to deter sailors. Explore this beautiful village by taking a city walk, or by enjoying a beer at the local brewery on the terrace. Visit the museum 'de Speeltoren' and take a look at the oldest, still playable carillon in the world. And also immediately learn why these sound so false.

Circle above world-famous Dutch cultural attractions such as Zaandam, Volendam, Monnickendam and Marken with this tour.
