What is there to do and see in Gouda, Netherlands? [SUB] Places of interest | OEPITHAI 

Gouda, once the 5th city of Holland, is located at the point where the rivers 'De Gouwe' and 'De Hollandse IJssel' meet. The city has become world famous for its Gouda cheese, stroopwafels and candles. The weekly cheese market is now a very big attraction for international tourists from all over the world. In the Museum harbor of Gouda you will find monumental ships that determined the image around the year 1900. This harbor is located on the edge of the old city center on the historic Mallegatsluis and can be visited free of charge. Next to the lock is 't IJsselhuis, the old skipper's waiting room, which is now the Museumhavencafé. The ships themselves cannot be visited because they are inhabited. Gouda once had 21 classic windmills. There are now 4 of them left. This is the tower mill 't Slot' on the 'Punt' and was built on the foundations of a castle that had already been demolished in 1577. This windmill once served as a corn mill. The Gouda Cheese Experience is well worth a visit if you are visiting the city. If you say cheese, you say Gouda.

Me too, every day at lunch. A wholemeal sandwich with Mature Gouda cheese and a cup of coffee. Delicious. Another real Dutch delicacy, stroopwafels. Also delicious with a cup of coffee. Yes, the average Dutchman drinks coffee all day from morning to evening. And what about oil balls and poffertjes? Also typical Dutch delicacies. The Gouda cheese market is a tourist hotspot.
