Getting there

Public Transport

From Amsterdam Central Station, take the NS train to Zaandam. The journey takes about 17 minutes. Once you arrive at Zaandam Station, exit the station and head to the bus stop located right outside. Take Bus 391 towards Oostzaan. After approximately 15 minutes, get off at the 'Oostzaan, De Noorderlaaik' stop. From there, it's a short walk to Twiske, located at De Noorderlaaik 1.

Bicycle

If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bike in Amsterdam. Head north towards the IJ river and follow signs for the 'Noord-Holland' cycling route. After approximately 30 minutes, you will reach Twiske. The route is mostly flat and takes you through scenic areas, making it a pleasant ride.

Walking

While walking is not the most direct route due to the distance, if you're up for a long walk from the city center, you can head towards the Amsterdam North area. Follow the signs towards the IJ river and then head north along the waterfront. The walk will take about 1.5 to 2 hours, and you’ll get to enjoy the scenery along the way.
