Walk · 1 h 30 · The Markt with the town hall in the middle, the Waag, the Sint-Jan and the canals of the centre, all ten minutes from the station. Free.

The centre of Gouda is small and can be walked without a map. Everything revolves around the Markt, with the old town hall in the middle and the Waag on one side. Go out the back towards the Sint-Janskerk and the museum, and continue along the canals of the centre, with old warehouses, bridges and merchants' façades.
How to do it
From the station it is about ten minutes' walk to the Markt. At the tourist office, inside the Waag, they have the map and sell tickets. In season boats leave to tour the canals of the centre; ask there for times and prices.
