Enkhuizen Boeit!
Enkhuizen is a city with a rich history. Many beautiful monumental buildings and defenses have been preserved. The Drommedaris, the Waag building, the Zuiderkerk and the impressive town hall. The 'Boerenhoek', an extension of the city with the still recognizable ramparts, shows an almost rural character with farms and canals with small bridges.
What makes Enkhuizen so special?
Eating fish at the Wednesday market, shopping in the Westerstraat, catching a film in the Drommedaris cultural center, taking a dip in the indoor swimming pool, eating out in one of the nice restaurants or having a drink in a 'small cafe at the harbor'. But there is much more ...
Museums
In every season there is plenty to see in one of the fascinating museums in Enkhuizen. The small-scale Flessenscheepjesmuseum is certainly worth a visit. The Zuiderzee Museum brings the stories to life of people who used to live around the Zuiderzee. See, hear, feel, taste and smell the daily life around the Zuiderzee.
