“Gouda — The Golden City of Cheese and Charm”

#hellohalloween Gouda, a small but lively city in the Netherlands, is best known around the world for its delicious Gouda cheese. Located between Rotterdam and Utrecht, the city is filled with history, canals, and warm Dutch charm. Every Thursday in summer, the famous Gouda Cheese Market takes place in front of the grand Gothic Town Hall, where farmers and traders still use traditional methods to sell cheese. The beautiful St. John’s Church, with its tall windows and colorful stained glass, tells stories from centuries past. Visitors can wander through cobblestone streets, cross old bridges, and enjoy local treats like stroopwafels and fresh cheese. Small shops, cafés, and museums make the city perfect for a relaxed day trip. At night, the lights reflect on the canals, giving Gouda a cozy, romantic feel. With its mix of tradition, taste, and beauty, Gouda truly shines as one of the Netherlands’ most charming heritage cities.
