A city walk in Monnickendam

Monnickendam has a long history as a port and trading town. Thanks to its location on the former Zuiderzee and the granting of town privileges in 1355, the town developed into an important centre for trade.

During a city walk, a guide will take you through the historic centre. Along the way, you’ll pass canals, locks, the Grote Kerk and old houses with a variety of façades and gable stones. You’ll also learn more about the town gates that have since disappeared, the former tram service and De Waegh, which played a key role in Monnickendam’s trade for centuries.

The city walks can be booked by appointment throughout the year. During the summer months, from May to August, there is a free guided tour of the city centre on Friday evenings.
