The charming village of Wormerveer lies just outside Amsterdam, near the world-famous Zaanse Schans. From here, all of North Holland is within easy reach: in just 10 minutes you can stand among the historic windmills of the Zaan region, in 20 minutes you’ll be in vibrant Amsterdam, or relaxing on the Dutch coast with your feet in the sand.
In Wormerveer itself, there’s plenty to enjoy. Stroll along the famous Zaanbocht, lined with cozy cafés, boutique shops, and beautiful views over the water. From Pakhuis Achter, you can walk to the Zaanbocht in just 5 minutes. The town’s industrial heritage gives it a unique and authentic character.
