City walk Alkmaar

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

Historic Alkmaar
The medieval center of Alkmaar is not considered a protected cityscape for nothing. Here you will find a succession of canals, old courtyards and ancient houses. In a word: beautiful! You walk a bit along the Kennemersingel where the Molen van Piet is located, a flour mill from 1769 that was built on the Clarissenbolwerk. On the other side of the water you will see the Sint-Josephkerk from 1909. You will also pass through the Fnidsen, a beautiful old shopping street with many monumental buildings.

Ouddorp
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 Sint-Laurentiuskerk from 1880. You walk into the meadows of the Oudorperhout, the remnants of a once larger agricultural area. At the Hoornse Vaart you will pass four monumental ironing mills from 1630.
