The Amsterdam windmills are one of the city’s best kept secrets. There are only 8 windmills in Amsterdam but unfortunately only one can be visited. And that is the Sloten Windmill. After having been moved several times throughout its history the mill was finally set to its actual location in 1814.
The former grain windmill is currently a beer brewery that makes its own brand of beer. It also has a café / pub, with terrace, which is popular with locals, especially on warm evenings. Sloten Windmill is very close to the city centre, a nice walk more likely if you are exploring the eastern part of the city center. Dutch waterways, canals
Amsterdam-Rhine Canal
Dutch waterway (canals and inland waterways) connecting the port of Amsterdam with the Rhine River. From Amsterdam the canal passes to the southeast through Utrecht on its way to the Waal River near Tiel. Inaugurated in 1952, the canal has a total length of 72 km (45 miles) and contains four locks. It was enlarged in the 1970s and reopened in 1981. It is the most heavily used canal in western Europe and can handle up to four 3,000-ton lighters (unpowered barges) tied together and push-towed by a tug. The canal's minimum depth is 5.5 metres (18 feet).
