Overview
Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Gouda. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll bridge the gap between entrepreneurs, cheesemakers and traders that shaped Gouda. If you can only name five cities in the Netherlands, Gouda is bound to be one of them. This is no doubt the result of that delicious cheese packed tightly in its yellow wax jacket, now available across the globe. This tour starts at the historic Goudse Waag. You’ll be treated to so much more than cheese during your journey. As you explore the heart of the old city, walking past picturesque canals and houses that belong in 17th-century paintings, you’ll hear how Gouda has been both one of the wealthiest and the poorest of Dutch cities over the centuries. There are plenty of places to stop to pull up a chair, order a coffee, and watch the world walk or cycle past. By the end of this walk around Gouda, you’ll have a sense of the city’s complex past and what makes it unique.
