Gouda Cheese Market

For centuries Gouda cheese has been traded at the Markt in Gouda on Thursday. This year, from the 6th of April until the 29 August, the traditional cheese market will take place every Thursday from 10 to 12.30 hrs. (except on Ascension Day on the 9th of May). And just like in the olden days, farmers and cheese traders agreed on a price by the clapping of hands. Besides the world-famous cheese, you can also enjoy stalls where syrup waffles and ‘poffertjes’ (Dutch mini pancakes) are made and where craftspeople demonstrate ancient skills.

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
