More on the Zaanbocht

Shopping on the Zaan

The Zaanbocht is home to an extraordinary array of boutiques, specialty shops and fashion shops. From trendy clothes and home accessories to tasteful delicacies: here you can shop off the beaten track. Ideal for those who love unique finds and personal service.

Repurposed heritage

The Zaan region is home to many wonderful examples of repurposing. Factories along the Zaan, which once formed Europe's oldest industrial area, churches that have become vacant and buildings that lost their function, were given a new use that we can still enjoy today.

One of the most striking buildings along the Zaan is De Adelaar. With literally a giant eagle as a landmark on the roof.
