We’ll start at the legendary Alkmaar Cheese Market, where centuries-old rituals come to life. From cheese-tapping and hand-slapping deals to the iconic carriers in colorful hats, it’s a show you don’t want to miss. Curious what happens if a cheese hits the ground? Let’s just say… there’s a very Dutch way to handle that.

Once the market winds down, we’ll wander through Alkmaar’s old town, where every street has a tale to tell. You’ll see quirky landmarks like the House with the Cannonball, walk past secret courtyards, and discover how a flooded landscape helped defeat the Spanish army back in 1573.
