These cities were part of the Hanseatic League: a cooperative between various Dutch and other European cities. Discover old crafts When you think of Holland, you think of cheese and the cheese markets where this Dutch delicacy is traded in a traditional way. If you would like to visit a cheese market, go to such cities as Gouda, Edam or Alkmaar. But Holland has more old crafts.

Volendam may well be the best known among them, but places like Monnickendam, Urk and Marken are also certainly worth a visit.

The Dutch students cities are characterized by a multitude of listed buildings, museums and a broad range of cafes and restaurants.
