Two epic must-sees in Zaandam coming your way! 🌬️ From modern vibes around Stadshart Zaandam to the fairy-tale windmills of Zaanse Schans, here’s how to nail your day in this Dutch city. Top Spots to Visit Stadshart Zaandam: Dive into the heart of Zaandam! This vibrant city center blends striking modern architecture (that quirky stacked green hotel is Insta-famous) with classic canals and chill shopping streets. The area’s totally walkable, so leave your car at the hotel and just wander. Best photo ops: near the Zaandam Inntel Hotel and along the Gedempte Gracht. Zaandam, The Netherlands. Zaanse Schans: Step back in time at this open-air museum — it’s windmill heaven! 🌾 Watch old-school millers at work, smell the fresh stroopwafels, and snap photos by the iconic green windmills. Tip: Arrive early in the morning or late afternoon for fewer crowds and softer light for photos. Feels magical just soaking in the Dutch countryside! Zaandam, Netherlands. Open all day, year round. Getting Around: Zaandam is super accessible by train from Amsterdam Centraal (takes ~15-20 minutes). You can walk or cycle between Stadshart and Zaanse Schans — a scenic 20-minute bike ride along the river. Food: Grab cheese samples and traditional poffertjes (mini pancakes) at Zaanse Schans market stalls. For more local eats back in town, try De Hoop op d’Swarte Walvis for Dutch classics by the water. Quick Tips: Bring a light jacket (weather shifts fast!), and wear comfy shoes for those cobblestone streets and dike walks. #ZaandamDiaries #DutchWindmills #TravelTips #Netherlands #tripdotcom
