A place with choices
Who said that a rural area has little to offer to its travelers, except for beautiful countryside and peacefulness? Heerhugowaard proves that a city can have it all, either in it or just off its borders. If you have more time to explore, then pay a visit to the huge Park van Luna, full of forests, water features, and meadows, or if you dare, try yourself in the cable water ski for extra fun. Are you ready to book?
If you’d like to see the Markermeer, head east to the city of Hoorn, where you can find gorgeous Airbnb homes that are near the lake.
