A lovely place to wander around. Day and evening. Beautiful harbour area. People are friendly. Majority speak english so no problem communicating. Plenty of drinking/eating places, can get quite busy at times. The restaurant next to the hotel was really busy on friday/saturday evening, and we found out that you needed to reserve a table. Plenty of others to choose from though. Markets on a saturday and sunday. We will certainly return for a longer visit.

Fantastic steam railway - lovely trip thorough the countryside and linked to a boat ride. Everything you would expect of a historic town with waterfront and good transport connections and modern amenities.

What a stunning and interesting town to visit and we already want to go back. So much history and the most beautiful buildings. Lots of great restaurants and all the shops you could need. Easy to charge our car and the nearby parking in a parking garage was cheap. The steak we had for dinner at Heavens Hotel was the best I had in a long time. Hoorn has lots of green space and you can do lots on foot. Easy walk to the marina, a large park and a huge swimming area on the Hoornse Hop close to town that seems to be newly created and will start opening slowly bit by bit from July. I participated in a big event and on the cycling leg I saw a lot of the beautiful surrounding area, so we will return for a more leisurely visit in the near future.

Hoorn is a small village about 30 minutes northwest of Amsterdam. Our accommodations were located in a boat, just outside of Hoorn. A nature trail near our boat took us into town via a forested area with a good path for walkers and bikers. On Saturday morning, Hoorn has a small market, many backeries and a few cafes were open. Many cyclist going through town.

What an amazing town just a short train ride from Amsterdam. Beautiful streets to walk around and harbour front. The food was amazing and learnt there is a Dutch equivalent to Spanish Tapas. As always friendly and very helpful people to show you around. First time in Hoorn, but not the last.
