Are you planning a day out or weekend trip to Zaandam, then you can have a lot of fun with this city walk. An Escape game and city walk at the same time. 2,5 kilometres long and over 1,5 - 2 hours of fun for the family or a group of friends. Meanwhile, during this game there is plenty of time to sit on one of the terraces. A city walk has never been so much fun. An app will help you with your quest during the city walk. The Zaanse Swindler is a blight on Zaandam. He is a smooth talker. His style is rob, steal and run away hard. The police have no trace and the people of Zaandam are afraid of him and so say nothing. Time for that to change.

The February Strike Monument in Zaandam commemorates the courageous general strike of 25–26 February 1941, when Dutch citizens protested against the Nazi persecution of Jews during World War II. Located on the balustrade of the Wilhelminasluis canal lock, near Dam Square, the monument features a small bronze sculpture group by former resistance fighter Truus Menger, depicting a worker with a bicycle, symbolizing the collective resistance of ordinary people. This poignant memorial serves as a reminder of the solidarity and bravery shown by the residents of Zaandam and other Dutch cities in standing up against oppression.
