Visit Alkmaar, a Dutch city best known for its weekly cheese market.

The Alkmaar Cheese Market takes place on Waag Square, where you can watch traditional cheese trading, see the cheese carriers at work, enjoy cheese tastings, and learn about the process at the weigh house.

Afterwards, explore the city at your own pace. Walk through Alkmaar’s streets, visit the Grote Kerk (St. Lawrence Church), stop by the Waag building, or take a short canal cruise. There are plenty of cafés and small shops to enjoy along the way.
