Edam is a delightfully unspoilt village a few miles outside Amsterdam. There are a couple of excellent hotels, the best of which is de Fortuna, in an idyllic setting alongside quintessential Dutch canals and bridges. It has a great restaurant too, with wonderful paintings of local fisherman from a bygone age.

Stay here and take the regular bus service to and from Amsterdam, and you'll get the best of both urban and rural Holland. When you don't want to travel to the city, hire a bike and follow the tranquil cycleways to either the grand old port of Hoorn to the north or the quaint fishing village of Marken to the south.
