City walk Alkmaar

Alkmaar is easy to explore on foot. With this city walk you will experience the historic atmosphere in the cozy city center. And you will get to know the Oudorp district, a former village.

Historic Alkmaar
It is not without reason that the medieval center of Alkmaar is a protected cityscape. Here you will find a series of canals, old courtyards and centuries-old houses. In one word: beautiful! You walk a bit along the Kennemersingel where Piet's Mill is located, a flour mill from 1769 that was built on the Clarissenbolwerk. On the other side of the water you will see the St. Joseph Church from 1909. You will also pass through Fnidsen, a beautiful old shopping street with many monumental buildings.

Oudorp
You can also admire some sights in Oudorp, such as the striking White Church from 1858 on the Herenweg. A little further on you pass the St. Laurentius Church from 1880. You walk into the meadows of the Oudorperhout, the remainder of a once larger agricultural area. On the Hoornse Vaart you will pass four monumental ironing mills from 1630.
