Edam, the Netherlands - 27 May 2016; Cheese lovers, rejoice! A cheese shop, a pile of cheese and a cheesy sculpture, all in a city named after a cheese (or perhaps it was the other way around). What more could one possibly desire? The lovely Edam is a small city in the northwest Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. Combined with Volendam, Edam forms the municipality of Edam-Volendam. Approximately 7,380 people live in this up-market area. The name Edam originates from a dam on the little river E or IJe where the first settlement was located.
