I take a bus to the beautiful area of Zaanse Schans in Zaandam. The town is a great spot for a day trip from Amsterdam. There are many old and historic windmills with colorful wooden homes. Zaanse Schans is a great example of a traditional Dutch countryside village. I first check out the Wooden Shoe Workshop of Zaanse Schans and see how clogs are made. Then I enjoy a lunch at Restaurant De Kraai before I explore the cheese museum and eat free samples at Henri Willig. After that I visit the De Kat Windmill or The Cat Windmill, which had amazing views. Finally, I watch a beautiful sunset along the Zaan River.

This place is really a paradise . I visited there in august 2023 and it was a breathtaking. The entire tour was fantastic and see the mills in action is amazing.

@Jamesnu 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely! It's so gorgeous! I would imagine that it looks even better in August than when I saw it during October.

@tomahern8967 Год назад

Great video! Seems like a beautiful and picturesque village! The old windmills with the colorful wooden homes and canals gives it a charm and elegant atmosphere. The wooden shoe workshop looked fascinating as well as the goat wearing a jacket.

Thank you! Yeah, it was a stunning place all around and a really great day! Although, I still wish that I was able to get a pancake. Next time though!

@Jacqueline4113 Год назад

Hi James, many tourists think that the Zaanse Schans is an old town but it has only been here for sixty years. The houses and windmills have been brought here from all over the Zaan region to preserve them for the future.

@Jamesnu Год назад

Hi Jacqueline! Absolutely! Zaanse Schans may not have as long of a history as other places in the country, but I feel like it's still a beautiful place and I really enjoyed my time there.

@Brody Pilcher It's usually pretty nice in April. Although most of the trees don't have their leaves yet, but it's also a bit outside of the typical tourist season, so attractions are usually less crowded.

@Jamesnu 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching! The trains from Amsterdam Centraal vary in time, but it could take as little as 17 minutes to get there, but there's a bit of a walk from the Zaanse Schans station. The bus is a bit more direct.

@skatingcanuck9837 2 дня назад

Just to clarify even the cafeteria where you bought food did not have a free washroom? So all but one windmill in the Netherlands are there as a tourist attraction? Were they ever functional, or built as tourist landmarks?

@Jamesnu 2 дня назад

I can't remember if there was a washroom at the restaurant or not. I'm not sure about the status with the windmills, but they're beautiful.

@skatingcanuck9837 2 дня назад

@@Jamesnu I was asking because I heard that in Europe you sometimes have to even pay for them when you are a patron. Have you paid for a washroom at a restaurant? I haven’t been to Europe in a while.

@@skatingcanuck9837 I've never paid to use a washroom in Europe, but I've seen spots like McDonald's or Burger King have coin operated turnstiles in front of their washrooms in Austria.

If I have to choose one place out of gienthoorn and ZAANSE SCHANS. Which one should I choose?

@Jamesnu Год назад

I never went to Gienthoorn, but it does look pretty amazing! I would say if you're coming from Amsterdam, I would go to Zaanse Schans just because it's very easy to get to, but if time and distance isn't an issue, I would probably go to Gienthoorn.

When you visit Kinderdijk before going to Zaanse Schans, you realize that Zaanse Schans is not all that. If you are in Amsterdam, take courage and go to Kinderdijk. That's the place to see real windmills. No offense to the video.

@Jamesnu 8 месяцев назад

Indeed. I just wish I had more time for a visit.

@AlexK-yr2th 3 месяца назад

Zaanse Schans is NOT a town but a neighborhood of Zaandam. Just another clickbait video full of misinformation. Rule of thumb is that if you cannot pronounce it, don't vlog about it. Same as when you can't pronounce "Parmesan", don't eat it.
