Windmill village Zaanse Schans

540 minutes

Zaanse Schans is a village on the banks of the Zaan River, 13km north of Amsterdam. In addition to windmills, you can also see fairytale-like wooden buildings, cheese factories, and wooden shoe factories. Much of the Netherlands is below sea level, so the Dutch have continuously tried to preserve the land, and windmills have been built all over the place. Nowadays, modern windmills have been built, and you can find traditional windmills in Zaanse Schans, known as the windmill village, about 15km north of Amsterdam.

Beyond the windmills, the village is mostly wooden, with white trim, and windmills of all sizes are scattered throughout, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. Beyond the windmills, visitors can also enjoy the wooden clogs and cheese factory, where visitors can watch the cheese being made. This makes it a must-see for any tourist visiting the Netherlands.

**By train: Depart from Amsterdam Central Station and get off at Zaandijk – Zaanse Schans, then walk. Round-trip fare: €6.60.

Amsterdam City Tour: Flower Market - Munttop - Rembrandt Square - Flea Market - Diamond Factory

*Singel Flower Market: This traditional market is located on the Singel Canal. True to the Netherlands' reputation as the land of flowers, it sells everything related to gardening and flowers, from seeds to pots. It's the perfect place to buy flower seeds, a popular souvenir.

*Mundtap: This tower stands at the point where seven major streets, including Lokin and Kalver, converge and where the Singel Canal joins the Amstel River. The name "Mundt" in the tower, once part of the city walls, means "minting," and derives from the fact that currency was once minted here.

*Flea Market: Located in Waterloo Square, this flea market is a must-visit for anyone interested in vintage goods. It sells a wide range of products, from souvenirs to decorative items and clothing. If you're lucky, you might even find some antiques at a good price. (Closed on Sundays)
