Description

Our journey begins at the Alkmaar Cheese Market, where you’ll witness centuries-old cheese trading traditions. Watch the iconic kaasdragers transport large cheese wheels to the weighing house and learn about the fascinating process of cheese weighing and the traditional handjeklap (hand clapping) negotiation method.

Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Waagplein, the heart of the market. Vendors, tourists, and the ceremonial cheese bell create a vibrant scene. Enjoy lunch (not included), shop, or stroll through Alkmaar’s charming streets before heading to your next destination.

Next, visit Zaanse Schans, a picturesque Dutch village with historic windmills and traditional crafts. Explore the iconic windmills, watch skilled craftsmen making wooden clogs, and take in the scenic surroundings for a truly Dutch experience.
