A great free attraction
Very photogenic and free entry into a working windmill, what more could you ask for? Well worth a visit but very steep stairs to climb to get in , so be prepared!

Best in combination with De Valk
This is a beautiful little windmill, but want to heartily recommend that you visit De Valk before visiting this one. De Valk (the big, stone windmill in Leiden) will teach you all about the history of milling and the importance of windmills in Dutch culture, and it will make this little mill much, much more exciting. Also note, it is only open on Saturdays.

A WALK THROUGH LEIDEN
Leiden, is the city where Rembrandt the painter was born and raised. This is an old city dating back to the Roman times. Its a charming city, that has given the Dutch many painters. This city is best I think done by foot, walking next to the Rhine. The architecture is harmonious yet does not become repetitive. The bridge is an example of Dutch engineering, and the whole walk was just a photographers delight. The street lead into small old lanes with their own charm. The windmill is very pretty, but we dint go in, it was a lovely sunny day.
