Gouda Cheese Market

Gouda Cheese Market 2
Gouda Cheese Market 3
A Thursday morning in Gouda, sometime between April and September. Soon you hear the haggling of the cheese traders and farmers.

And there they are: the famous Gouda cheese girls, surrounded by spectators. Horse-drawn cheese carts come and go. Just before the Gouda Waag, they come to a halt. Cheese boys jump out and start unloading the cheeses, tossing them over their shoulders, which are then weighed on the original scales in the Gouda Waag.

You can enjoy world-famous cheese, as well as stalls filled with local products. In addition to cheese trading and cheese making, there is also a craft market. There is also plenty to do in Gouda in the afternoon. For example, you can take a canal tour or join the Gouda Guides Guild on a walking tour. At Bergs Bakery, you can participate in a syrup waffle baking workshop. Or visit the model of Goudafrom 1562, go on a discovery tour with Fietstaxi Gouda, or have your photo taken in traditional Gouda costume on Lange Tiendeweg.

The Gouda Cheese Market is a spectacular historical and nostalgic scene. If you want to visit the cheese market, make sure you arrive at the Market Square on time.
