Netherlands' Amsterdam ranks in my Top 3 European destinations!!

📍Address: LEGO Town Drop-off Station: Zaandam Highlights: LEGO Wall: A popular spot for social media photos, perfect for capturing memories! LEGO-themed Street: Feels more like a regular shopping street, average experience, suitable for a quick browse. The town itself is small, ideal for a quick photo stop but not worth staying too long. Recommended visit time: about 30 minutes before heading to Windmill Village! 📍Address: Windmill Village (Zaanse Schans) Drop-off Station: Zaandijk Zaanse Schans (Zaandam Windmill Village Station) Recommended Duration: 2-3 hours Suggested Itinerary: Take photos with the windmills, visit the Windmill Museum (learn about windmill operations, requires a ticket), explore local workshops in the village such as cheese and wooden shoes, stroll along the riverside paths. Food Recommendation: We chose a pancake shop in Windmill Village. The view from the window was stunning, and the food was quite tasty. Tips💡: Most areas are free to visit, no extra tickets needed. Best to visit on sunny days. If it's windy, bring a hat or scarf to stay warm. ◎Windmill Village is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful towns in Amsterdam. Walking into Windmill Village feels like stepping into a Dutch oil painting. Under the azure sky, rows of windmills slowly turn, the shimmering lake reflects lush green grass and fairy-tale-like wooden houses. A gentle breeze carries the scent of fresh grass and rich cheese, making you want to take deep breaths of this refreshing countryside air. It's an absolute must-visit destination! Food🥘: Who says the Netherlands is a culinary desert?! After trying these 5 places, I take it back... (and gained 3 pounds) 1. Mannekenpis Fries A must-try in Amsterdam! Freshly fried thick-cut fries with tons of sauce options—peanut onion sauce is a winner! Worth the wait in line. 2. Van Wonderen Caramel Waffles Crispy waffles coated in caramel sauce, sweet but not overwhelming! Perfect for photos, a Dutch afternoon tea staple. 3. Van Stapele Chocolate Cookies A hidden gem loved by locals! Warm cookies with molten chocolate filling, incredibly rich—one bite and you're hooked. 4. The Seafood Bar A haven for seafood lovers! Fresh oysters, lobsters, and mussels at a much better value than in Nordic countries. 5. Amorino Rose Gelato A visual masterpiece! Gelato shaped like rose petals, with multiple flavor options. A must-have while strolling around. Summary: The Netherlands is definitely more than just fries and cheese! After visiting these places, I declare... Dutch cuisine, I misjudged you!
