Zaanse Schans: Windmill Views, Free Cheese & How to Beat Crowds
★4.6(23797)
Show up before 9am or you will be fighting crowds for every shot. Skip the massive tour bus groups and just take the 20-minute train from Amsterdam Centraal yourself. Climb inside the De Kat windmill to see the original wooden gears, then stuff your face with unlimited Gouda samples at Catharina Hoeve. Spend two hours total to get your windmill content, then bounce before the midday tourist surge makes the village feel like a theme park.
