Zaanse Schans: Windmills in my mind
MANILA, Philippines — Windmills, their masts turning against the wind, stand along a river. Cows and goats graze on fields of green. Tall, wooden houses with intricate gables, and wide picture windows, wait for their residents to come home. Giant clogs in front of a shop. Ice cream vendor peddling gelato. And so many mini-museums that present all the information you will want to ask.
That place is called Zaanse Schans, a lovely and fully functioning village presenting an open museum of the Dutch way of life in the 17th and 18th century. If you are in Amsterdam, make time to visit this village 50 minutes away by bus from the Amsterdam Central Station. Or take a day tour. It will be worth your time.
Zaanse Schans, located along the Zaan River, has preserved everything about a Dutch Village in the Zaan Region. Its charm comes not only from it being an open museum, but from the fact that it is a real neighborhood where people still live and work. So you will have to follow the pedestrian and bike lanes or risk being an obstacle of the flowing traffic in the community.
