  • Edam is a small town about 20km southeast of Amsterdam and is an easy bus ride for a trip out of the city. When I visited on a weekday in winter, it was almost completely deserted but I did manage to see some of the famous cheeses being loaded onto a lorry.

    The centre of the town is very pretty and there are also picturesque houses lining the small canals, if you explore up some of the side streets.

    There's a lovely welcoming inn in the centre where I had a tasty lunch.

    To get there: catch bus 110, 112, 114 or 116 from outside Amsterdam's main railway station.
