It's an incredible adventure in a small friendly town.
Gouda is an incredible adventure in a small friendly town and the namegiver to the famous Dutch cheese. Gouda is a city and municipality in the west of the Netherlands, between Rotterdam and Utrecht, in the province of South Holland. Gouda is a small town but its history is interesting.
On the main square near old City Hall you can visit the Cheese Market on Thursdays, from April onto the end of August. The traditional market dates back from 1395. You can buy tasty cheese and watch wonderful folkloristic performances.
There is a modern and free toilet in the central square. Also in the city there are Dutch-style urinals a bit similar to Amsterdam ones.
You can go outside the city and visit the Reeuwijkse Plassen, or the Goudse Hout, lakes in and around Gouda for a good picnic outside the town. Lakes are in an hour walking away from the centre of the town or even less. A city also famous for its Gouda cheese, stroopwafels (dutch waffles) and candles many grachten (urban shipping canals), historical drawbridges, decorated clay pipes, and its 15th-century city hall. Its array of historic churches and other buildings makes it a very popular tourist destination.
A visit to the city can easily be combined with a visit to the site of Kinderdijk, a collection of historical windmills that still function and are recognized by the UNESCO World Heritage. Visiting this area is a true unique experience, since this part of the Netherlands is a few meters below sea-level and is for 700 years protected by dikes and water management by pumps and windmills.
