Continuing northwest for about 40 minutes, you'll reach the Living Netherlands Museum, also known as Zaanse Schans windmill village. The windmill village is approximately 15 kilometers north of Amsterdam.
This is one of the most classic windmill villages in the Netherlands, with vast green lawns, vintage wooden houses, and a cluster of still-operating windmills, making it a place where you can truly experience Dutch windmill culture. The windmill village preserves many old windmills and has many exquisite wooden houses in bright colors.
There are also old shipyards, clog factories, wax factories, bakeries, cheese and dairy workshops, and general stores with over 100 years of history, as well as places where you can experience clog making demonstrations. Stepping into the village is like stepping back into 17th-century Holland—windmills, clog workshops, cheese workshops…it's perfect for taking amazing photos.
Starting from the Dutch windmill town, a 1.5-hour drive will take you to Giethoorn, a charming water village in the De Wieden nature reserve in the province of Overijssel in northwestern Netherlands. It is known as the "Green Venice" or "Dutch Venice".
This car-free village, known as the Venice of the Netherlands, is mainly navigable by canals and boats. Here, you can easily cruise between thatched-roof houses by boat, stroll along the bridges to capture fairytale-like scenes, and experience pure European pastoral charm—perfect for taking stunning photos!
A must-do way to experience the village is by taking a flat-bottomed wooden boat tour. As the small boat slowly glides through the tranquil village, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on both banks while listening to the boatman/guide tell you the history and features of each house.
