Ijssel Cruises - cities and tourist attractions
The shores of Lake Ijssel are home to the Dutch capital, Amsterdam. In the city of canals, the royal palace and the world-famous waxwork museum, Madame Tussaud's, are very much worth visiting. The Vondelpark is a good place to relax for a few hours.
The Dutch town of Volendam fascinates with its picturesque idyll of black and green fishermen's huts. This is a good place from which to visit to the city of Edam, famous for its cheese, with its wonderful historical cityscape.
