Best things to do in Edam

Edam Essentials

Edam’s heritage is defined by its 17th-century architecture, historic canals, and world-famous cheese industry. This collection features the Grote Kerk, the largest hall church in the Netherlands, and the Edam Museum, housed in the town's oldest brick building. Beyond the summer Wednesday cheese market, the list includes the UNESCO-listed Fort bij Edam, the 17th-century Zuidpoldermolen windmill, and traditional maritime sites like the Kwakelbrug drawbridge and the central boat-building shipyard.
