This city is so perfect, that doesn't seem real. You can see pretty landscapes, mills, bars, jewelry stores, small villages with beautiful houses, tents of regional (and yummy) sweets. A dream!
A must-go place, only 20 minute from Amsterdam. Beautiful view! You can explore a windmill inside, rent a bike, prove some delicious cheese, or just walk... Lovely place!
