      On Friday mornings during the cheese market season, Alkmaar's town centre is busier than usual, which can affect the drop-off and pick-up point a coach company recommends.

      Practical: getting on board and local points to note

      Around the weekly cheese market (in season), Alkmaar's centre is extra busy on Friday mornings. Groups who want to see the cheese market are best off planning their pick-up time well before the market ends.

      Which coach company is closest to your departure address in Alkmaar?

      Enter the address your group leaves from. You then see two things: whether we recognise that address, and which coach companies on BusOffer are closest to it. Driving to the start is part of the price of every trip, so a company nearby starts lower. Which spot a coach may use there is something you agree with the coach company; it differs per street and per municipality, and we don’t know it.
