Our Local Experts say:

The Dutch countryside outside Amsterdam is a must-visit. The rustic beauty of the landscapes in villages like Zaanse Schans, Volendam, Marken and Edam are such that you can never get tired of visiting , no matter how many times you've been.

Amsterdam's tour operators organise such countryside tours and safaris quite frequently so all you need is to book your ticket. Most of the villages can be reached within an hour, so a bus tour is pretty convenient. If you feel up to it, you can also take a bike tour to the countryside, with stops for lunch and picture-taking.
