"City of Cheese" Top 5 Page for this destination Edam by Imaniac

Edam Travel Guide: 59 reviews and 194 photos

On my tour through The Netherlands I decided to visit Edam. I went there after I visited Zaanse Schans. I had some grat company. Mique and Europebn tagged along after the big meeting we had the day before.

We arrived there a bit late, but still enough time to make a nice stroll around teh city, and take hundreds of pictures. Going there in winter has the advantage that there are almost no tourists there. But for the "real" edam yo ushould go in summer and see the cheese markets.

I heard I missed all the cheese? Serves me right for opting to go to Bruggs instead (btw, was beautiful)!!
