Zaanse Schans is free to visit, but with this card you will get all kinds of extras to make your experience even more fun.

Zaanse Schans is the perfect Dutch outing from Amsterdam, bringing the 18th and 19th centuries back into the present-day Netherlands. Explore the wooden houses, barns, and workshops, and get even more value for money with this ticket.
