Cheese Market — photo spot in Houttil 18, 1811 JM Alkmaar, Netherlands
Cheese Market
Alkmaar Cheese Market is a colorful living tradition: teams in historic costumes carry large rounds of cheese across the Waagplein while buyers, weighers and spectators animate the square. Photograph dynamic group formations, stacked rounds, close-up textures and candid portraits. Best mornings (market runs weekly April–September, mornings) for action and crisp light; arrive early for setup shots. Central location with limited parking—use Alkmaar station (10–15 min walk). Free to watch; be mind
