Local before arrival
Cheese lovers don’t have it easy downtown because typical cheese stores are hard to find. In the “9 Straatjes” (9 Streets) district, you’ll hit the jackpot: De Kaaskamer features over 400 different types of cheese stacked floor to ceiling—Dutch farmhouse cheese; cheese with caraway seeds, nettles, or garlic; goat cheese and sheep’s cheese. Perhaps a young, creamy cheese? Or do you prefer a full-flavored hard cheese? As is the custom in Holland, you can sample cheese for free.
