Victoriepark is a small green space tied to Alkmaar's favourite historical boast: the city that helped turn the tide against Spanish siege in 1573. The park itself is modest, but the name and location make it part of the town's civic memory.
It is best treated as a pause while walking the centre rather than a destination. Sit for a few minutes, then connect it with the old streets, canals, and cheese-market square that make Alkmaar more than an easy day trip from Amsterdam.
