Hiking

The Oudegracht in Alkmaar is a central, historic waterway in the heart of the Dutch cheese city, surrounded by merchant houses from the 16th and 17th centuries. It is a picturesque core of the old town, ideal for boat tours to discover the city from the water.

Great city, cool bars, nice canals and great shops in the small streets.

The old canal, one of the central waterways in Alkmaar, only becomes interesting with a canal tour through the Alkmaar waterways. Also interesting is going under the bridges in the canals, which are so low that the occupants of the boats have to get down from their seats onto the floor so as not to hit their heads against the bridges.
