At City Attic Haarlem, we offer an unforgettable day tour that takes you through the heart of Dutch heritage. The tour starts at 8:00 am, when we depart together from the City Attic to the iconic Zaanse Schans, where we visit an active windmill, discover the traditional cheese making and clog factory. We’ll also make a stop at the cozy soap shop, where you’ll learn all about the art of handmade soap making.
