Lying about 15 miles northeast of Rotterdam, Gouda is most famous for its eponymous cheese. One of its most prized attractions, De Waag on the town square, was once a weighing house for cheese traders and now features an exhibit detailing the entire cheese making process. Also on the square is the 15th-century town hall, one of the oldest in the Netherlands. On Thursday mornings during the summer, the town’s Markt turns back into a traditional cheese market, something not to be missed.

The city hall of Gouda was completed in 1450 and is the oldest gothic city hall in the Netherlands.
We were taken by surprise cycling into Gouda and it's old city! Welcomed by the lovely clock and amazing old buildings.

This is a great Markt on a Saturday. We took the train from Rotterdam and walked to the Markt - very lively - music, all kinds of food, vegetables, meat, fish, etc. The town is beautiful and totally walk-able. Bought some rolls in one place and cheese in another and had sandwiches. This is a much more pleasant and manageable Markt than the large Rotterdam Market which we also did in the Afternoon.

The most beautiful, cheerful and the best stocked cheese shop I have ever visited. The staff is amazing and accommodating, they have great knowledge of all the cheeses sold in the store, and they are knowledgeable about packing for air travel. The visit is a must, when you are in Gouda.

Loved the owner and his customer service. The place was super busy and yet he took the time to answer our questions and show us different products. His own gouda that he makes at his farm was my favorite.

Walking towards the museum of Gouda on Oosthaven we saw this beer, wine and spirit shop in a very nice house almost next door. The displays looked so attractive we couldn't resist having a look inside. The choice was enormous. Staff were very friendly and gave good advice. So, we ended up buying two small bottles of a Dutch spirit called ‘jenever’ as presents and a couple of Belgian beers to take to our hotel.
