Discover the secrets of Alkmaar
The treasure hunt sets off at Alkmaar city hall, a fitting starting point for a walk through time. Along the route teams will pass the Waag, where the cheese market tradition still fills the air with character, and the imposing Grote or Sint-Laurenskerk with its striking tower. Cultural stops like the Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar and the Beatles Museum add unexpected detours, while atmospheric spots such as Hofje van Splinter, Kapelkerk and the historic Langestraat 114 provide perfect backdrops for puzzles and photo challenges. Traditional cafés like 't Roode Hert offer local color and a moment to catch breath before the next clue appears.
