Home to the infamous Edam cheese, the town of Edam is situated in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands. This world-renowned hard cheese is traditionally sold in wheels and enclosed in red paraffin wax. Once a whaling port, this picturesque little town, set in the aptly named ‘Waterland’, features a number of attractions such as the old shipping warehouses, scenic canals, and hand-operated drawbridges. Visitors can look forward to a selection of activities including: wandering the quiet cobblestone streets, browsing the bustling Wednesday morning market, and exploring the charming surrounding Dutch countryside traversed by a network of scenic waterways, blanketed in fields of tulips, and dotted with traditional red brick houses.
