Visiting Amsterdam: 3-5 Day Suggested Itinerary for 2025
"De Gooyer is the closest windmill to the city center and also happens to be a brewery, so it’s an easy and fun windmill stop that can double as a place to grab a beer." - Matthew Kepnes
The 32 Best Things to See and Do in Amsterdam (Updated 2025)
"For windmill spotting near the city center I often start at De Gooyer, which is conveniently close and also operates as a brewery — a neat combination of historic Dutch scenery and a place to grab a drink." - Matthew Kepnes
Loved this Windmill in Ansterdam. Located in the outskirts of city centre but a lovely walk along the canals. Cafe and in-house brewery make it unique.

A nice little 40-minute walk from the city center. If you want to see a real active windmill, this is the only one around for miles. It's worth the walk and to stop at the cafe below for a drink and snack.

Free windmill to visit, right in the main road, easy to get to. Not sure if you can go inside 🤔
Bar, brewery (with tours at the weekend) and cafe underneath.

A well preserved windmill. Right next to a tram stop, easy to reach.

Beer is okay, but the bartender is super unfriendly!
I ordered a tasting plate of beer and when I asked him which beer I had, he replied that he didn't know and didn't care.
Apparently they are over-saturated with tourists.
There is definitely better, cheaper and friendlier beer in Amsterdam!
