Experience an unforgettable excursion to Kinderdijk, one of the most famous attractions in the Netherlands. The world-renowned windmills, set in a picturesque polder landscape, draw visitors from across the globe each year. Located just outside Rotterdam, Kinderdijk is easy to reach and offers a perfect introduction to Dutch heritage and centuries of water management.
From Rotterdam to the Heart of the Polder
The journey begins in the city center of Rotterdam, where we travel by boat or coach towards the Alblasserwaard. The trip itself is already a highlight: passing rivers, dikes, and green meadows of the Dutch countryside. Upon arrival, we walk among the impressive row of windmills, a unique and photogenic UNESCO setting that captures the essence of Holland.
Heritage and Stories of the Millers
Guided by an expert, you’ll learn about the ingenious water management system and the traditional craft of the millers who kept the land dry for centuries. The tour can be extended with a peaceful boat ride along the windmills in an electric whisper boat. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the windmills of Kinderdijk are a true cultural treasure—easily accessible from Rotterdam by boat, coach, or even by bike.
