Alkmaar

Welcome to the cheese city of Alkmaar! Every Friday morning between March and September the Waagplein hosts the cheese market, an archetypal Dutch spectacle of cheese carriers. Want to know more about the history of the city and the cheese market? Then plan a city walk or take an Alkmaar Cheese Cruise: this canal cruise departs from Waagplein. Or come shopping or enjoy a terrace in the cozy center of Alkmaar.
