Top Alkmaar Food & Drink

Think Dutch food begins and ends with stroopwafels? Think again. Become an Adopted Dutchie for the day and discover what the Dutch really eat on a small-group food and walking tour through the historic city of Alkmaar. From chocolate sprinkles for breakfast to beloved favourites like cheese, kibbeling and fries, taste the everyday foods Dutch families grow up with and discover the traditions behind every bite. Between tastings, I'll share the personal stories and cultural quirks that made me fall in love with Dutch life. Discover why Alkmaar is so much more than its famous Cheese Market. Wander along picturesque canals, cross charming bridges and explore everything from its iconic windmill and historic fish market to the hidden details many visitors simply overlook. Leave feeling less like a visitor and more like an Adopted Dutchie. • Have fun across six unique tasting stations: Bread & Spread, Cheese Please, Mayo Mayhem, Cod Almighty, Snack Attack and Sweet Surrender.

A Pub Trail is a scavenger hunt through Alkmaar, combined with short pub games in cafés that you choose yourselves. For friends, colleagues and families who want to explore the city without feeling like tourists. You walk together through the city, complete challenges, and play games in the cafés. The group stays together, and the player with the most points wins a prize. Pub Trail Alkmaar is an activity, not a traditional pub crawl. You choose the cafés yourselves: no fixed bars, no set routes. This gives you the freedom to choose the cafés you want to visit. Pub Trail Alkmaar is an active and playful experience, much more fun than a standard walking tour.
