[2025 Molenwaard Attraction] Travel Guide for Kinderdijk (Updated Apr)

#2024TravelReview The most famous thing about Kinderdijk in the Netherlands is, of course, the row of 19 windmills. When you first see them standing on both sides of the canal, it is hard not to be shocked by the picture. This place really looks like a fairy tale world, with rows of windmills standing on both sides of the canal, so beautiful that people can't help but press the shutter a few more times.

During our trip to Rotterdam, we decided to stay overnight and explore the enchanting Kinderdijk windmills in the evening. These windmills are truly unique, standing tall as a testament to Dutch engineering and water management. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the 19 windmills of Kinderdijk have played a vital role in combating floods and reclaiming land from the water since the 18th century. Our original plan was to take a 40-min boat ride from Rotterdam Central to Kinderdijk, but unfortunately, we missed the boat schedule. However, we quickly adapted and hopped on a bus instead. It took us about an hour to reach the destination. As we arrived at Kinderdijk, the sight of these magnificent windmills against the picturesque landscape was absolutely breathtaking. Each windmill is a fascinating piece of history, showcasing intricate design and reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands. So, if you're in Rotterdam, make sure to plan a visit to Kinderdijk. Check the boat schedule in advance and plan your trip to witness these extraordinary windmills that have become an iconic symbol of Dutch heritage. It's an experience you won't want to miss! #netherlands #kinderdijk #windmills #unescoworldheritage

Visiting Kinderijk in winter, although the weather is bad and very windy, it offers a whole new sight. Although the transportation is a bit complicated, I think it's worth going! Share my itinerary. 7:49-9:04 Train to Rotterdam (€17.9) Arrive at Rotterdam station, take Tram No. 7 and get off at Willemskade (€1.43) After getting off the train, you will see the bridge in Figure 4, and the Waterbus station is right in front of you. I took Waterbus No. 21 from 10:00 to 10:40 and went directly to Kinderdijk. Before I boarded the boat, the crew confirmed with me that I was going to Kinderijk (€2.69). It was only 10:40 when we arrived! Ideal time Since the weather was very cold, I went to the cafe next door to drink chocolate (€3.75), but with the receipt, I could use the restroom on the lower floor as much as I wanted👍🏻 I stayed there for about three hours and then rushed to Delft~ *All transportation fees were paid with OV Card #Netherlands #Kinderdijk #kinderdijk #Rotterdam #Rotterdam #WorldCulturalHeritage
