Volendam is a small fishing village just 30 a minutes’ drive from Amsterdam and a must if you want to learn more about Dutch heritage and history! It is known for its traditional clothing, its harbor, and its picturesque views of the Markermeer lake.

The village is a popular tourist destination, with many visitors coming to take in the sights and sample the local seafood. Also home to a number of museums, galleries, and other attractions.
