The Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area lies to the west of Rotterdam, east of Vlaardingen, and south of Delft. Schiedam, located to the south, is also connected to the village of Pernis via the Benelux Tunnel.
Situated just west of Rotterdam, Schiedam is renowned for its distilling history and iconic windmills. Notably, it’s home to the beautifully restored Museum Windmill de Walvisch, a historical windmill once used to grind grain for the production of genever (Dutch gin). According to S’Dam, you can experience an audiovisual presentation featuring a 180-degree moving projection that provides an in-depth look into the history of Schiedam’s windmills, which are some of the tallest in the world.
