This time I came to Zandan, the focus was on Zaanse Schans, exclusive to the Dutch fairy tale feel check-in place! 😳 A beautiful and historical windmill village, about 15 kilometers from the center of Amsterdam, very convenient to take the train or bus a day. Just stepping here is like traveling back in time to the Dutch Industrial Revolution in the 17th century. 🌿Itinerary Highlights: + Witness more than a dozen traditional windmills in operation and feel the Dutch-style live version + Explore the ancient workshop: Cheese house, clog workshop can watch the production Live Show on the spot + No blind spots for photography: riverside, fields, colorful huts and lush windmills, take 100 beautiful photos in minutes + Half day / day to have fun, suitable for couples, families, hipsters right or not have a feel 📍Zanse Schans - Address: Zandan, Netherlands - Opening hours: Open all day year round (generally recommended to go in the morning, more crowded in the afternoon) 🖼 Photo Spot / Attraction Inventory Recommendation: 1. Green Windmill Complex Once you get down to the village you will see rows of colored windmills, and some include guided tours to get inside to see those historical machinery and how they worked (some require a ticket, averaging around €5). The most beautiful ones are those by the river. It's cool to take pictures/walk slowly along the river. 2. Klompenmakerij The little Western fairy tale must include clogs! There is a live demonstration of clog craft, and you can try to wear a pair of hip-hop Dutch clogs to take pictures, no charge but buy souvenirs at your own expense - very popular with children. 3. Cheese House (De Catherina Hoeve) Cheese lovers must go! There will not only be museum-style introductions, but also cheese tastings. The staff will introduce cheeses from different regions in the Netherlands. 4. Traditional Cottage & Craft Shop There are many souvenir shops, chocolate/vanilla/candy shops on the roadside, especially honey or chocolate shops, authentic and practical options. 5. Riverwalk Walk along the river and you will see windmills from different angles, avoiding the big road too much, the view by the river is super beautiful, occasionally there are ducks & sheep what, healing to crazy. 💡 Feelings & Practical Tips: 1. The Windmill Village is open year-round, so don’t be afraid to encounter the museum and other holiday closures, but the best time to avoid the crowds is before 9am or in the evening 2. It is recommended to bring a folding umbrella, the weather is sunny and suddenly rainy at the same time 3. Shoes to wear comfortable D, the road in the village is mostly stone slabs, walking a day will really be quite tiring 4. Entrance to the scenic spot is free, some windmills, workshop interior visit payment, remember to bring your own change (cash or card can) 5. Cheese tasting is not charged, but after trying not to buy no problem, no necessary pressure; clog workshop photography to wait, but the clerk is mostly very nice 6. You can buy train tickets or bus packages in advance on trip.com Dining recommendations: - Some cafes in the village offer local Dutch hot dogs, sandwiches, and muffins. Transportation Guide: From Amsterdam Central Train Station, it only takes about 17 minutes by train to Zaandijk Zaanse Schans Station, and it takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the train. You can also consider taking a direct bus ride from Amsterdam, which is scenic along the way. #ZandanPhoto #Dutch WindmillVillage #Zansershans #WeekendTrip #AmsterdamAround
