Zaanse Schans Windmill Village, Netherlands

You must visit the windmill village near Amsterdam, especially on sunny days, you can take photos that feel like a fairy tale world in minutes 💚Transportation: Take the sprinter to Zaandijk Zaanse Schans, which takes about half an hour. It is really convenient. We bought a three-day Amsterdam pass and can take the bus directly. 💚Visiting time: 3h-4h, depending on personal circumstances. 💚There is a place to rent bicycles🚲 as soon as you get out of the train station. Although we didn’t rent one, it was very leisurely to see others riding bicycles around the village. 💚Get off the bus and follow the crowd or the navigation. It will take about 15 minutes to arrive. Cross a bridge and enter the village. Enter the village and walk along the main road. You can see several large windmills along the way. We chose to walk to the right first and walk around the village. The green house against the backdrop of blue sky, white clouds, small bridges and flowing water is really photogenic, giving a feeling of a paradise. The small courtyards of each household are well maintained, and you can get close to the lambs 🐏 and ducks 🦆. 💚There are free wooden shoes and cheese museums to visit in the village, and cheese can be tasted for free. There is a huge pair of shoes and a wooden shoe wall at the entrance of the Wooden Shoe Museum, where you can take photos and check in. 💚The windmills are really huge when viewed up close. You can buy tickets to visit some and climb up the windmills to see the scenery. 💚It is recommended to take a look at the "building block" town of Zaandam on the way there or on the way back. You can see Figure 9 as soon as you exit the train station. You can also go to the main street in the town for a stroll. HEMA is quite big and you can have a cup of coffee and take a break.
