With one night, the sums work: on Saturday, the museum village and dinner in the harbour; on Sunday, the boat across the IJsselmeer to Medemblik and the steam tram to Hoorn, from where you return by train. Enkhuizen is about an hour by train from Amsterdam, at the end of the line. ## What does it cost?
