Another city in South Holland that is famous for its cheese is Gouda, for which the Gouda cheese is named after. Gouda began as a settlement in the Middles Ages that was founded by the Van der Goude family, who also built a fortified castle on the Gouwe River. After World War II, Gouda tripled in population size and expanded with a focus on urban renewal.

Some of the best sites to visit in Gouda on a day trip from Amsterdam include the 15th-century city hall building in the Market Square, Saint John Church, which features famous stained-glass windows from the 16th century. Museum Gouda, Museumhaven Gouda, and Verzetsmuseum are great cultural museums to learn about Holland and Gouda . More info
