Gouda, The Netherlands

Em Gouda não compramos queijo, mas passeamos pelas ruas da cidade e comemos tarte de maça. Os mercados de queijo são no verão, por isso só nessa altura é que é possivel ver a praça com vida e cor.

Gouda, the historic city in the province of South Holland, is known world-wide for its Gouda 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.
