  • The torture Museum is a "low-rent" museum dedicated to the art of torture. Have a variety of devices on display, the only problem is that the museum is very dark. Open daily from 10 - 22:00

  • Edam Cheese being carried in

  • This was kinda a tourist trap but I was glad I went. This is a working cheese market in Edam, where everyone dresses up in traditional Dutch clothes and they walk around in their wooden shoes selling cheese. The Cheese comes in by little boats and carried to be weighed and sold. It didn't cost anything to stand their and watch and listen to the band. I thought it was worth the trip up to Edam. Generally you can take a tour that would include edam.
