Edam: A Tourist’s Personal Favorite
The Wednesday cheese market is what makes it a hot favorite among tourists. Edam owes its fame to the fact that it’s the producer of world-famous Edam Cheese which is exported to the world. Also, Edam is an important town historically and that is why it is yet another town in the list of places to visit in the Netherlands other than Amsterdam.
Located in the province of North Holland, Edam's cheese products have been exported to the neighborhood countries since the Golden Age. Once you've arrived in Edam, pay a visit to the Edams Museum to learn about the town's history, lifestyle, and culture. Exhibits related to paintings, objects, and maps are on display at the museum to help you learn more about Edam's local customs. Another point of interest to see is the fort near Edam. The military fortress is surrounded by a moat and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and harbor.
