Besides the warm welcome you're always welcome in our shop, we highly recommend spending a day in Monnickendam if you have the opportunity. This picturesque village just north of Amsterdam boasts a rich history and beautiful Dutch architecture. The 2ehandssieraden.nl showroom is located in the old town center. Here, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on one of the terraces in the nearby harbor. You can also rent a boat from the harbor, for example, via Theetuin Overleek or Waterland . Worked up an appetite after all this? Then we recommend a cozy lunch at restaurant De Koperen Vis, a building that once served as a Jewish synagogue. Or enjoy a delicious slice of cake at Da Piera (with a stunning view and homemade iced tea). If you have something to celebrate, we highly recommend the Michelin-starred restaurant De Posthoorn . This can be combined with a luxurious overnight stay in the adjacent suite hotel. Treat yourself or your loved ones to a day of pure indulgence!

Monnickendam and surroundings

Can't get enough? Just a little further north, you'll find the well-known Volendam. Here, you'll find traditional Dutch costumes and several museums with information about Dutch history. But this fishing village has much more to offer! Think artisanal eel smokehouses with the freshest fish, the charming harbor with its old Dutch ships. Or stroll through the streets of the historic neighborhoods of Doolhof and De Kom – a great source of inspiration for many artists, for good reason.
