The 10 Best Neighborhoods in North Holland Province, The Netherlands
Mostly jutting northward from its largest city of Amsterdam and its capital of Haarlem, the Noord-Holland region has much more to offer beyond those two wonderful cities. At Muiden is the magnificent Muiderslot Castle, as if it stepped out of a fairy tale. Showing more wear but no less interesting is Brederode Castle at Santpoort. At Zaanstad is Zaanse Schans, one of Holland’s top tourist destinations and a family-friendly open air museum of windmills, traditional buildings, crafts and shops.

The shopping area in Zaandam offers everything for a day of great shopping. Since a few years the city centre has transformed into an interesting architectural area. The traditional houses are mixed up with modern day aspects. When arriving by train, the first thing you see is the world famous Inntel Hotel. Next to it is the city's town hall. From here you walk straight into the shopping area!

9. De Hallen Amsterdam
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 799 reviews
The centre for media, culture, fashion, food and crafts with a libary, hotel, cinema, local markt and foodhall. The building where once the first electric trams in Amsterdam were serviced has been granted a new life. In the former tram depot, an official monument built between 1902 and 1928, you now find De Hallen Amsterdam. Right in the middle of the 19th century district Amsterdam West.

We stumbled upon De Hallen by accident. The market bit in the main hall is cute and quirky. The day we visited the vendors had a mix of art and books and made-in-Amsterdam stuff. But the real draw card for us was the food hall, which is really cool. Lots of different vendors, serving everything from yogurt to cocktails, and Spanish to Vietnamese. Good vibes, fun music, excellent food! We particularly LOVED the Tacos from Taqueria Lima.
