Alkmaar guide
City/town information
Alkmaar is known as the city of cheese in Holland, but that title covers only part of what the town has to offer. It has a beautiful old center with many historic monuments, great shopping districts and countless welcoming terraces, cafes and restaurants for every budget. And if you want to get out of the city for a while, the beach and dunes are just fifteen minutes away.
