About this experience
The Nieuwe Land Erfgoedcentrum, Bataavialand Museum in Lelystad, tells the tale of the Zuiderzee project, the biggest land reclamation undertaking in history. Flevoland's prehistory, the struggle against water, and the region's past and future are all covered in the permanent exhibition. Visitors are drawn closer to the area's past by hearing the tales of its residents. Three kid-friendly exhibits are available at the museum.
Explore shipwrecks that date back hundreds of years and learn how the Zuiderzee was turned into new territory. Explore the decks of the Batavia, take in the artistry of traditional wooden shipbuilding, and become engrossed in its many tales.
Houses in Giethoorn look like they are straight out of a fairytale book and make this picturesque village one of the most beautiful places in the Netherlands. With this tour, you will go on a beautiful public boat tour for 1 hour and explore this beautiful town from the water which is the best way to admire and take it all in.
Giethoorn is a charming 800-year-old village in the northeast of the Netherlands. It is about a 1.5-hour drive from Amsterdam to Giethoorn, making it a perfect day excursion. Often called the ‘Venice of the North’, it’s filled with beautiful canals and fairytale-like wooden bridges.
Explore a true gem of the Netherlands, Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen. Stories of the people who formerly inhabited the Zuiderzee's beaches are brought to life at the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen. Before the Afsluitdijk (the massive IJsselmeer Barrier Dam) transformed the previous inland sea into what is now known as the IJsselmeer in 1932, you could see, hear, feel, taste, and smell daily life around the Zuiderzee. The history, present state, and future of the area are the main topics of the Zuiderzee Museum. Themes like communities, crafts, and water take center stage. The historic structures of Zuiderzee village and the Treasure House's themed exhibitions serve as visual representations of these tales.
