Gouda

Netherlands

Good for those who like quiet towns and cheese culture, not for those chasing big cities or nightlife. Best time to visit is April to September, when the weather is nice. Budget around 300-500 RMB per person. Public transport is easy, short trips between areas. Must-see: Cheese Market and St. John's Church. Skip the commercial area near the train station—too touristy. Avoid buying cheese near attractions, prices are high.
