Cheese market Alkmaar, between April and September



The famous cheese market tradition that dates back to 1593. Every Friday between April and September you can watch while costumed cheese traders re-enact a centuries-old practice of weighing more than 2,000 cheeses, stacking them on sled-style carriers and loading them onto trucks. Of course, don’t forget to taste or buy the Dutch cheeses like Gouda and Edammer.
