Step into the heart of Dutch cheese tradition in Gouda, the picturesque city that gave the world its most beloved cheese, where the magnificent Renaissance Town Hall and the iconic Waag (weighing house) stand proudly in the historic Markt square, hosting the world-famous traditional cheese market every Thursday morning from April to August with costumed cheese porters carrying massive wheels of golden Gouda on barrows amid lively music and demonstrations. Wander the charming old town with its canals, historic guild houses, and the stunning St. John’s Church (Sint-Janskerk)—the longest church in the Netherlands—with its breathtaking 72 stained-glass windows, the largest series in the world dating from the 16th century.
Savor authentic aged Gouda cheese straight from the market, creamy stroopwafels fresh from the iron, hearty Dutch pea soup, and crisp local beers amid warm Dutch hospitality, canal reflections, and the unmistakable aroma of melting cheese that lingers in every cobblestone street.
Gouda isn’t just a destination—it’s the authentic soul of Dutch cheese culture, medieval beauty, and timeless charm—plan your Gouda escape today!
