Alkmaar is known as the city of cheese in the Netherlands. This name was found in a document that dates back to the 10th century. The oldest part of Alkmaar lies on an ancient sandbank a couple of meters above the surrounding region which avoided some protection against inundation during medieval times. Alkmaar has many medieval buildings that are still intact. An example is Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk, where most people hold their wedding ceremonies, all of which can be seen using the affordable Alkmaar attraction tickets. Getting to the city from the airport can be done very easily via airport transfers.
