A day in Volendam
Neighborhoods
Are you even a tourist if you do not try on typical Dutch clothing and eat the catch of the day from the fishermen's village of Volendam?
Make a day trip out to Volendam. With so much to see and do you will find yourself lost as you walk through traditional Dutch history, in and out of colourful wooden houses and across to the island of Marken. Here you can also learn how the traditional Clogs are made.
Stop in Edam on your way back and explore the old traditional cheese warehouse with their very own in house bakery. Bring some cheese back for us!
