Walk · 1 h 30 · The 1532 harbour tower, the Binnenhaven quays with their terraces and the Roode Steen square with the Waag. Free.

In the Golden Age Hoorn was one of the ports of the Zuiderzee, and its postcard view is the Binnenhaven, the inner harbour, with the Hoofdtoren of 1532 guarding the entrance. Stroll along the quays, where there are now terraces and pleasure boats, and climb through the centre to the Roode Steen, the main square, with the Waag and the Westfries Museum building.
Good to know
The Westfries Museum is closed until mid-2027 for a major restoration. In the meantime, Hoorn is seen from the outside: harbour, square and streets. From the station it is about ten minutes' walk to the Roode Steen, and next to the station the steam tram to Medemblik departs.
