The amazing windmills of the Zaanse Schans are part of an area where history really comes to life. Stroll along the river and the scenic paths, lined with traditional wooden houses, towards the famous mills. These centuries-old engineering marvels were used for grinding spices, producing oil or paint, and sawing timber. The power of the wind made mass production of these products possible, and that's why the Zaanse Schans is regarded as the first industrial area in the world. Whether you're drawn by the mesmerizing blades turning in the wind or the chance to step back in time, the windmills of Zaanse Schans promise an unforgettable journey into the heart of Dutch heritage. It is among the most popular tourist destinations in The Netherlands for a reason!

Edam
We continue to picturesque Edam, one of the Netherlands’ best-preserved historic towns, famous around the world for its distinctive round cheeses. During a leisurely guided walk, we’ll explore the charming canals, picturesque bridges and beautifully preserved monumental houses that reflect Edam’s prosperous past during the Dutch Golden Age. We’ll also see two impressive medieval churches and the historic Kaaswaag, the former cheese-weighing house where Edam’s famous cheeses were weighed, traded and prepared for export.
After the guided town walk, you’ll have ample free time to explore Edam at your own pace. Enjoy lunch in one of the town’s atmospheric cafés or restaurants, browse the charming streets and canals, or visit the beautiful Edam Museum, housed in one of the town’s historic buildings, for a fascinating insight into local life and history.
