Zaanse Schans

Perfect place to spend a sunny day, don't miss the chance to enter the wind mills and enjoy the beautiful views . It's a must if you wanna get a taste of Holland , but be aware that is quite touristic .

This place is worth visiting, many little shops, museums , windmills , nice views for perfect shots. Goats and ducks, chocolate , cheese and souvenirs... Love this place.

A must-go place, only 20 minute from Amsterdam. Beautiful view ! You can explore a windmill inside, rent a bike , prove some delicious cheese , or just walk... Lovely place!

Best museum to explore and experience the old Netherlands lifestyle and enjoy the land mark of Air Fans and enjoy the visit of Chocolate Factory and Shopping some natural products like cheese

Beautiful place ???? located on the river Zaan, just north of Amsterdam famous for its Windmills , cheese stores ???? ????

A must-go place, only 20 minute from Amsterdam. Beautiful view ! You can explore a windmill inside, rent a bike , prove some delicious cheese , or just walk. Lovely place!❤

Visit a piece of art history. Fascinating to experience the birth of the reds, blues and yellows that have shaped European ArtA great, working mill with an interesting story. Definitely worth a visit.

What a beautiful typical Dutch village with a lot of windmills .the place it’s like the old movies (:

Windmills are beautiful and just that. The rest: infinite ways to take money from you with cheesy entertainment. €4,00 to look inside ONE windmill ? And there's a lot of new stuff passing for heritage.

Stunning and amazing. Beautiful area with so many cafés . Don’t miss this amazing place.

It is the most beautiful place in Holland ❤️and it is just an hour from Amsterdam....

great area with some great windmills and great displays. The authentic old village is really good too and very interesting. The staff are very informative and interesting. Plenty of things to see

Awesome day trip from Amsterdam. Take bus 391 from Amsterdam Centraal. Windmills and river that gives a feel of old Holland . Almost perfect place on a sunny day!

Perfection! It's close to Amsterdam and you can see traditional wooden houses, gardens , bridges , and windmills operating! You can explore one and drink hot chocolate in it. I didn't want to leave..

Ice-cream at the cheese shop was so smooth, milky ; just a little sweet. Loving the variety of cheese to sample at the shop!!

Rent a bike in Amsterdam, get on the train (15min) towards Uitgeest. Get off at Koog-Zaandijk station and pedal your way to this amazing site!

In the summer months , you can cross the river Zaan with a small ferry . It shuttles between Zaandijkersluis (Lagedijk, Zaandijk) and the windmill Bonte Hen on the Zaanse Schans.

Recommend driving & spending a few hours here. Charming stores - slightly crowded in the afternoon. If you go via tour . The stops can be rather hurried.

Windmills , one of the first things come to one's mind when you hear Holland . Zaanse Schans is one of the most popular places where you can get a postcard picture of windmills and not travel too long. Read more

It is a 'must have' for anyone who goes to Netherlands for the first time ... a beautiful landscape.

Make the short trip from AMS to see old school windmills and a touristy yet interesting and worthwhile slice of Dutch nostalgia.

A must visit place for those visiting the Netherlands .

Authentic village outside Amsterdam. Cute artsy houses and many windmills to complete the impression. Cheese factory is quiet nice.

Lovely place to see ❤its only 20min away from Amsterdam center and worth visiting ⭐️

The working sawmill was awesome! We stopped there on a bus tour and didn't have enough time to linger, explore or shop the area. Needed more than an hour.

The town is amazing we were lucky to see the once in a year festival . You will also visit a working windmill . The place is a must :)

Nice day trip from Amsterdam. The cafe near the entrance serve nice soup and pancake with ham and cheese .

First Albert Heijn supermarket , making of wooden shoes and cheese . Visit one of the windmills located in a typical Dutch scenery. A must see.

Nice windmill place, we enjoyed our ice cream from a place called “cocoalab” very delicious homemade ice cream ????

What a beautiful typical Dutch village with a lot of windmills . Definitely must see if you are in Amsterdam.

Dutch classic you just have to see. Beware of photobombing asian tourists . You just have to be more cheeky than them.

You can climb up one of the mills (the one that grinds pigment for paint) for a good view . You can also buy a creamy hot chocolate in there.

Beautiful place. Astonishing views . Better get here on NS intercity/sprinter with your bikes .

This was purpose built to promote the heritage of windmills . Expect crowds and excessive numbers of gift shops , but the view is pretty

A spectacular place! A must when you're in the Netherlands !

Go there early in the morning because later you will face too many Chinese :)

Amazing ice cream , lots of cheese samples, and cool sights of windmills and wooden shoes

A spectacular view of the classic windmills . Good selection of cheese .

Very beautiful place. It’s good for cycling around.

Very nice place but in windy days it becomes disastrous ????

Best place to see all the iconic Dutch things - clogs, cheese , windmills & chocolate .

A beautiful place where you can love the nature ❤️

I love this place, its nature and ice cream also ???? I hope I'll visit again ????

Take your time to explore the whole area. Lots of little shops and windmills to visit.

Probably the highlight of my trip to Holland . Try to go at dusk. Is beautiful!

Come and see. You won't regret it

A must when in Amsterdam!!!

The place is lovely, and free entrance. So but something slightly overpriced to help maintain the village :-)

Cute and pretty although not completely authentic .

Goats , chickens , and ducks roam free here! Fun for kids and parents.
