Katy’s Travel Tips / Inspiration / Itineraries on Instagram: "Zaandam is known for its unusual green buildings that look like a mash-up of traditional Dutch houses. The design was meant to reflect old wooden homes from the region, just in a much more exaggerated way. It’s only 15 minutes from Amsterdam by train, making it an easy half-day trip if you want something a bit different (and very photogenic). #zaandam #thenetherlands #daytripfromamsterdam #amsterdam #zaandamcity"
