Travel Series 5 - Zaanse Schans 荷兰风车村


The Zaanse Schans is an open air conservation area and museum, on the bank of the river Zaan, north of Zaandam in the Netherlands. It displays the traditional architecture of the area (green wooden houses) and has several functioning windmills and craftmen's workshops, which are open to visitors. Located next to it is the regional museum, the Zaans Museum.

To get there, take a train to railway station Koog-Zaandijk (17 minutes/4 stops from Amsterdam Central Station). From there it is a 10-15 minutes walk through the village of Zaandijk (just follow the signs).
