Local GuideThe local guide to Gouda
More than just cheese (but omg, the cheese!) 🧀 Catch the sunrise at Markt square when it's all misty - pure medieval magic. Learn "lekker" - you'll need it for stroopwafel hunting. Fun fact: our city hall has been throwing shade since 1450 (architectural shade, that is) ✨
