Detailed itinerary
1
The Hoofdtoren on the harbor of Hoorn is very atmospheric with the beautiful facades of residential and warehouses in the harbor area.
2
In the living room of Hoorn. The historic Oosterkerk is now an active cultural center that hosts all kinds of activities.
3
The Julianapark in Hoorn is wonderfully located along the water of the Markermeer. It gives me the idea of walking along the sea.
4
In the period from June 18 to August 27, you can visit the cheese market in Hoorn every Tuesday. Ideal with lots of open terraces
5
Nice large station right next to the Hoorn Medemblik steam tram. Surrounded by nice and atmospheric pubs
6
The gate was built in 1578 to a design by Joost Jansz. Bilhammer. It was actually a gate in the earthen walls of the city. You must have seen this gate!

Stop 7
Pass by
The Museum Steam Tram Hoorn-Medemblik provides a service on the tourist railway Hoorn - Medemblik with historic steam tram equipment.
8
The church is a three-aisled cruciform basilica with galleries and a dome above the church. There is room for a fun game in front of the church.
9
Three facades with a cartoon. It looks like a comic strip there high on the three facades on the Slapershaven in Hoorn.
