Waagplein is the historic heart of Alkmaar — the 17th‑century Waag (weigh house), lively cheese market (Apr–Sept Fridays), canal edges and period facades offer rich architectural and street photography. Best at golden hour or early morning for soft light and fewer tourists; cheese market mornings deliver dynamic action and color. Central, walkable from Alkmaar station; limited on‑site parking (nearby public garages). The interactive city tour departs nearby—book ahead in high season. Photography
