What you will see
Practical information
Gouda cheese market & old town
The cheese market takes place on Thursday mornings (April–August). On other days the Markt and the weigh house are still worth a visit. The centre is flat and compact.
Kinderdijk windmills
The mill paths are flat and partly paved; count on 1 to 2 kilometres of walking. The boat tour and museum mills require a ticket (optional add-on). It can be windy on the dikes, so bring a jacket.
