The 15 Best Kinderdijk Windmill Tours

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,477 reviews · 1 day · from $25Our pick

Spend a flexible day at Kinderdijk, walking beside 19 working windmills, entering two museum mills, visiting a pumping station, and riding the included boat through the polders. You guide yourself with an online audio tour, films, and exhibits in several languages.

Or you can catch the charming little boat that takes you to the small distance stop off points where you can actually go into two of the 19 operating windmills - the oldest from 1635 I think...do get chatting to your boat hosts and the fellows running the windmills and do watch the vidoes on the boats (only 9 minutes)”

2.Waterbus Ticket to Dordrecht and/or Kinderdijk

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 542 reviews · from $11Best value

Use one day ticket on Rotterdam’s Waterbus lines to reach UNESCO-listed Kinderdijk, historic Dordrecht, and Biesbosch-area stops. Ride indoors or on deck, bring a bicycle or scooter free, and plan your return carefully around the timetable.

“This is ferry service for walk-ons and bicyclists. If you want a guided tour, look elsewhere. It is best to arrive about 20 minutes early to get a choice seat. If you want to take pictures, it might be best to stand on the stern so you don't have to look through windows. These are typically full so if you arrive at boarding time - you might have to wait till the next waterbus.”
