    Edam has a beautiful picturesque appearance, allowing you to be transported to earlier times.

      The heyday of Edam was around the 16th and 17th centuries, because of the cheese and fish trade and the shipyards that existed at that time. In gratitude for the help to Alkmaar during the Spanish siege of 1573 by the Spaniards in the Eighty Years War, William of Orange granted the city the horizontal. After 1700, the trade was back. Edam remained a small town.

        We particularly liked this place. Contemplative, cozy and quiet and not so overrun by tourists 👌
