Zaanse Schans Windmills: Boat Tour from Amsterdam

Take a break from the big city bustle and discover the pastoral side of Dutch life, with a relaxing boat tour to the charming hamlet of Zaanse Schans. See traditional Dutch windmills near Amsterdam and colorful wooden houses will transport you to another century. Pass by enormous cruise ships as you sail through the second-largest port in the Netherlands, and wave goodbye to the noise of the city as you sail towards Zaandam on a 2-hour cruise. In fine weather, you can enjoy the panoramic deck of the ship, for an unobstructed view over the peaceful scenery along the way. Once you arrive at Zaanse Schans, you'll have two free hours to walk around and explore the adorable, quaint village, before sailing back to Amsterdam with lungs full of fresh country air and all the windmill selfies you could wish for!
