In reply to Johanna Bradley. Picking your time can help a lot. Off-season or weekdays or early in the morning would all work for any touristy place.

It looks fascinating and I’m not at all familiar with it so thanks for sharing. 🙂
You make a good point. There’s only one Sagrada Familia and if you want to see it there’s only one place to go. 🙂 You have to try to pick your time, that’s all.

In reply to Ruth - Tanama Tales. Probably wise, unless you want to see inside all the windmills, in which case you should check the hours for each.

I would not mind visiting this place even though it is considered touristy. The history and beautiful colors are a draw for me. I would try to visit early during a weekday though.

In reply to budget jan. It's amazing, when you're inside, to see how heavy all the machinery is: huge beams and wooden gears. Yet those massive sails are able to get it all moving. I suppose if there were 600 they'd seem ordinary!

Hi Rachel, The windmills look wonderful all working together. I’ve seen them many years ago – too many to remember much. Maybe I saw different ones. I never thought about them powering saws. How amazing would it have been to see 600!

I love saying Zaanse Schans, it just rolls of the tongue doesn’t it? And of course it is a beautiful place. I guess I would put up with the crowds to get inside more of the windmills. Great video!

This is absolutely charming. . .I’d wait for a week-day, I think but I sure am tempted to put it high on the ‘bucket list’ after reading your post.
