Schiedam is the distillery capital of the Netherlands. So That’s where the name Dutch Distiller District is coming from. 

It’s the city of jenever and gin, and home to the tallest windmills in the world. In the historic city center, the long history of distilling still surrounds you. Schiedam is filled with jenever distilleries, charming harbors, historic warehouses, and characteristic drawbridges.

And the best part: the trendy and up-and-coming Dutch Distillers District in Schiedam is less than a ten-minute drive from Rotterdam. So it’s the perfect opportunity to combine a visit to Schiedam with a fun city trip to Rotterdam.
