The Zaanse Schans is a unique place in North Holland where you can look at the typical Dutch windmills, but also visit for example the cheese factory or the wooden barns.

6. GO FOR THE DUTCH FOOD

Go for the Dutch food (bitterballen, cheese, stroopwafel, poffertjes, haring)                                                                    

Of course, you don’t want to miss the delicious food from Holland, for example, bitterballen, cheese, stroopwafels, poffertjes or haring with onions. The warm snack called ‘Bitterballen’ are balls filled with ragout and the outside is a crispy crust.  Stroopwafel is delicious cookie filled with caramel syrup. Poffertjes are like mini pancakes. You can compare it with a flat marshmallow. And the last one is Haring. Haring is a fish, popular in fish-town Volendam with onions on it. There is a special way you can eat it, but how? You can visit the Netherlands and try it by yourself!
In November and December, you can try lots of ‘pepernoten’, a small round sort of cookie and according to Dutch tradition, a children’s treat for ‘Sinterklaas’ celebrations.
