My picks for Zaanse Schans and windmill country, guided and independent. The village sits about forty minutes from Amsterdam, and its mills still saw timber and press oil for real. Arrive before ten or after four; midday belongs to the coach groups.
Discover the Dutch countryside with this 6-hour guided tour from Amsterdam, including windmills, traditional villages, cheese tastings, and more.
