Are Dutch Villages REALLY This Magical?! 🇳🇱✨ (Zaanse Schans → Marken Day Trip)

We expected a cute Dutch day trip… but these villages felt unreal. ✨🇳🇱
Windmills, canals, costumes — Zaanse Schans to Marken surprised us at every turn.
From windmills to King’s Day chaos and one very fluffy corgi 🐶 — we explored Zaanse Schans, Broek in Waterland, and Marken (Netherlands).
We explored some of the most iconic villages near Amsterdam — each one with its own story, chaos, and charm.
Each place surprised us with its own story, charm, and energy.

📍 Places we visited:

• Zaanse Schans — real working windmills, traditional Dutch houses, and way more tourists than expected 🤭
• Broek in Waterland — peaceful canals, tiny streets, fairytale quiet
• Marken — a full King’s Day celebration with locals in traditional costumes

Along the way:
🧀 Cheese, seafood & corgi joy
🌬 Cozy chaos, family laughs & moments that felt unreal

💡 Perfect if you’re planning a Netherlands trip and looking for day trips from Amsterdam that show the real, authentic side of the country.
We’ll show you how to reach each spot, what to see, and where to find that hidden quiet charm between the windmills.
