A small, but beautiful historic city in The Netherlands. As it's off the beaten path for international tourists it has a typical Dutch vibe to it. The city is located in the Green Heart Area, which is an area well known by its beautiful countryside. It's the region where the most famous Dutch cheeses are produced. As a major city in the Green Heart region, Woerden became an important city for the trade in cheeses, like Gouda cheese. Let me show you the highlights of the City of Woerden in this video.
