🇳🇱 Netherlands Windmill Village Guide: Transport & Travel Tips

🚆 Transportation 1️⃣ From Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Centraal: Direct train (book single tickets via NS app). 2️⃣ Amsterdam Centraal → Zaanse Schans (Windmill Village): Take train to Zaandijk (4 stops, 17 mins). Bonus: Pass Zaandam (LEGO town) on the way! 3️⃣ Arrival Walk: Follow the crowd → walk 200m straight → turn left 50m → cross the bridge → windmills on your left! 🌾 Travel Tips 1️⃣ Best Time: Visit before 6 PM (shops close early!). Free cheese-making demo + souvenir shopping! 2️⃣ Windmill Spotting: Walk along inner paths (no riverbank access). Look for "Anno" dates—oldest is 1672 (4th windmill, turn corner). 3️⃣ Hidden Gem: Head right along the river → open fields, cows, private gardens → feels like 17th-century Dutch paintings! 🎨🐄 #ZaanseSchans #NetherlandsTravel #WindmillVillage #DutchCountryside #TravelGuide 🌷🚂
