Walk Around the Harbours of Enkhuizen and the Drommedaris

Enkhuizen was one of the great cities of the Zuiderzee, with shipyards, sail lofts and rope walks, and when the merchants left for Amsterdam it fell asleep, almost intact: today it has 361 national monuments. The walk starts at the harbour, in front of the Drommedaris, the tower of the old city gate over the water, and continues along the quays to the Waag, the town hall, the Zuiderkerk, with its tower, and the late Gothic Westerkerk.

How to do it

Everything is on foot from the station, which is on the harbour itself. If you have time to spare, the Rondvaart Enkhuizen boat tours the canals of the Boerenhoek, the district of farms within the walls, with little tea houses and fortified gates.
