Alkmaar: Cheese market and Windmills

Highlights / General details

This tour takes you to 700-year old Alkmaar, scene of the picturesque cheese market, where you can get a real sense of ancient market life. Once a buyer has finished, men in white costumes carry the wheels of cheese to a 14th century weigh house to tally the bill. Admire the competing teams of the Cheese Carrier’s Guild, and watch as the cheeses are piled high on the cobblestone square at Alkmaar Market. After a guided walk and lunch (not included), we will go to Schermerhorn, famous for its three old windmills, with the possibility of visiting one.
