Situated just north of Amsterdam in the province of North Holland, Netherlands, is the charming city of Zaanstad. Known for its rich industrial heritage, Zaanstad is famously associated with the iconic Dutch windmills, captivating wooden houses, and delightful cheese-making tradition. This picturesque area is home to the Zaanse Schans, a beautifully preserved 18th-century village where you can fully appreciate the age-old crafting of wooden shoes, admire the original windmills, and sample world-renowned Zaanstreek cheeses. With tranquil cycling and walking paths along the mesmerizing Zaan River, Zaanstad offers an enchanting glimpse into traditional Dutch life while just being a short journey from the bustle of Amsterdam.
