The Journey
Spui Square & The American Book Center
Our Cheese Discovery Walk begins at Spui Square, a cultural hub known for its vibrant Friday book market. Arrive early to browse the eclectic stalls overflowing with old and new books, maps, and prints—many in English. The iconic American Book Center stands as our meeting point, marking the spot where our cheesy adventure begins with an introduction to the Dutch cheese landscape.
9 Little Streets (Negen Straatjes)
The '9 Little Streets' is a charming network of canals and boutique-lined streets. Here, we'll explore serious cheese shops, each offering a unique glimpse into the world of Dutch cheese craftsmanship. We'll select the perfect cheeses to savor and learn about later, immersing ourselves in the local culinary culture.
Anne Frank House & Jordaan District
Our walk takes us past the poignant Anne Frank House and through the historic Jordaan district, a neighborhood known for its picturesque canals, independent shops, and vibrant atmosphere. We'll absorb the history and charm of this iconic area as we make our way towards our next cheesy destination.
North Church & North Square (Noordermarkt)
We'll explore the beautiful Jordaan district further, arriving at the North Church (Noorderkerk) and the adjacent North Square (Noordermarkt).
