Join our tours to experience the authentic Cheese Market at Waagplein! Starting Friday, March 28 at 10:00 AM, witness the lively spectacle of traditional cheese trading and immerse yourself in Dutch culture.

What can we see at the Waagplein? Every week during this summer period, thousands of tourists from all over the world come to Alkmaar, just for the cheese market. It is a unique spectacle, with a square full of cheese, cheese carriers and centuries-old traditions.

When exactly the first authentic cheese market took place remains a mystery. Recently, old documents have surfaced that show that there was already a cheese market since 1622. As early as 1365, Alkmaar was given the privilege of weighing and using one scale, in 1612 there were already four. It seems that it never stopped after that. One thing is certain, cheese has been traded here for centuries!
