Shopping
Gouda is a perfect shopping town. In Gouda, a historical town centre is combined with modern shops. There are numerous attractive shops, but there are also great places of interest that make a shopping day in Gouda into a real outing. Gouda also has events that will appeal to the real curio-lover. On Wednesdays from May to September there is the Gouda Montmartre. At the splendid market in the centre of Gouda, more than 100 participants offer goods such as antiques, curiosities and collection objects.

But not only Gouda has excellent possibilities for shopping, Alphen aan den Rijn is also a perfect shopping town. Many charming shops could always be found in Alphen aan den Rijn, but the offer is even larger since 2005. For in this year, the new town heart was completed. On Rijnplein (Rijn Square) and adjacent streets many nationally-known shops have established themselves and on Rijnplein itself, there are a number of attractive pavement cafés where you can have a delicious drink after a day of shopping.
