Picnic at Zaanse Schans

Hello!


Zaanse Schans is very known and popular for its windmill and unique house architectures. It is very unique and eye catching. So here I am, visiting Zaanse Schans during the hot spring weather. Tourists from all over the world will visit this place to enjoy the beauty of windmills and see how the wind is transformed into several usages. There are also some museums and unique stores that sells the traditional things such as dutch wooden shoes, chocolate factories, cheese factories, and many more. 




In addition, if you visit in a good weather, you can bring your own foods and do picnic there! I visit Zaanse Schans when the weather is around 23 degrees and it was really hot, I could guarantee you that ice cream and cold water is all you need that time! But this is the perfect weather, when the skies are blue and the wind blows, you can see that the windmills are working while enjoying your food in the side of the lake. It was perfect. In addition, with this perfect weather, you could take great pictures too!



There are a lot of activities you could do in Zaanse Schans. Most importantly, leave before 4 or 5PM since all the windmills will stop working and people will start leaving after 5PM. So rather than being in the middle of the crowd, it is better to leave earlier. In addition, to enjoy the middle of the lake for a while, you can choose to go back to the starting point by using boat for only €1.00! If you don't feel like you want to visit the museums or you don't want to enter the windmills, you don't even need to pay to explore Zaanse Schans! The price for visiting each windmills are vary depends on the windmill that you are going to enter. But on average it costs €3.00-€5.00 per windmill. You can enter the wooden shoes factory and old Albert Heijn store for free too!
