Put on purely for the tourists, this cheese market is a fun day trip during the Summer season.
Alkmaar is a very nice town to explore once you are "cheesed out".
Accessable by train from Central Station or by tour with windmill and cheese farm |
| Carting away the cheese that's been bought |
|  | The Mother Load There is a lot of lifting going on. From the Square to the weigh house to the carts. These guys put in the work that's for sure. |
| The cheese gets carried away. |
| | How the cheese gets from here to there. Different colors represent the different buyers. Blue, green, red and yellow tell them apart. They are dressed in white to help keep the heat down. |
