About this tour
The mills still grind, and the green houses behind them arrived on trailers between 1961 and 1974 so you could see what the Zaan already was. The walk starts at the Zaans Museum, Albert Heijn's stone laid in 1997, then the tiny grocer at Kalverringdijk 5 that opened in 1967. Self-guided in the StepQuests app: GPS between stops, stories you read on your phone.
