12 Best Things To Do In Gouda, The Netherlands: More Than Just Cheese
Gouda is a medium-sized city, in the province of South Holland, known for its unique city hall and Sint-Janskerk. Het Stadhuis, or City Hall, is a frequently photographed, stone, Gothic building, with stunning red shutters, that sits on the edge of the main market square, in the historic center of the city. Sint-Janskerk is a 16th-century church, which houses the largest collection of 16th-century stained glass windows in the Netherlands--works of art that really are something to see. And then there is, of course, the cheese. But, spend a little bit more time in Gouda and it soon becomes apparent that there is much more to this city than cheese. Gouda has a lively central market, surrounded by historic buildings and inviting cafes, canals, and art. Here are some suggestions of the best things to do in Gouda, even though some of them do involve cheese!

Top 15 Airbnb Vacation Rentals In Gouda, Netherlands
Ever heard of Gouda Cheese? Well, it’s no coincidence that this cheese is named after the city, Gouda, located on the western side of the Netherlands. However, Gouda is not just a place of dairy products, although this is a huge part of its history. The city is also known for its deep, rich history. It started its life in the 11th century and has evolved over the years to become the amazing destination it is today. Remnants of the middle ages still stand bold and strong in the city’s landscape. These include the 15th-century-built City Hall and the former cheese weighing station which is currently a Cheese Museum, Goudse Waag. A visit here is like a trip back in time. Visit these historical monuments and museums and be amazed at how far back this city started and the milestones it went through to become what it is today. Need a place to stay?
