Gouda in the Netherlands - Cheese, Stroopwafel and Rembrandt

Things to do in the city of Gouda in Netherlands, Holland, including stained glass, cheese, Stroopwafeland Rembrandt tours . A round trip travel guide from Amsterdam.

We took a trip over the long Easter break to the Netherlands, including bike through the tulip fields around the Keukenhof, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful trips we’ve ever taken in Europe. And one of the places we visited was Gouda, the city of the famous cheese.

The fact that it is small and has its tourist attractions very close makes Gouda a perfect day trip from Amsterdam. The distance by train from the central station is only 50 minutes or 1 hour if you are driving. And if this is your case, it’s important to plan well and arrive early,  it was not easy to find parking in the city. We parked in Westhaven, on the street right on the edge of one of the canals, by sheer luck. And note that parking is paid, you need to get a receipt at the nearby totems. We pay €3 an hour.

The city has several attractions such as museums, churches and the cheese market that takes place on Thursdays in the central square. Another important attraction, of course, is to buy and try gouda cheese and several packets of the most famous Stroopwafel in Holland.
