    An essential option if you want to go to the island of Marken, instead of taking a bus that takes almost twice as long. 100% recommended. A fact to keep in mind when planning your trip: the last ferry leaving Marken is at 6:00 PM.

Best Tours and Activities in Volendam | Book Online

Located on the edge of the IJsselmeer lake, Volendam is a charming fishing village in the Netherlands, famous for its colorful wooden houses, picturesque harbor, and lively atmosphere. With its traditional Dutch culture, fresh seafood, and friendly locals, it’s a perfect place to experience the country’s unique heritage and scenic beauty just a short trip from Amsterdam.

A Glimpse into the Past

Dating back to the 14th century, this village started as a harbor for the nearby town of Edam and developed its own identity over the centuries. Its rich maritime past, well-preserved architecture, and traditional costumes still visible today give visitors a fascinating peek into old Dutch life.

When to Visit

The best time to explore is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is mild and the village comes alive with markets, festivals, and outdoor activities. Summers offer long days by the water, while spring adds the bonus of nearby tulip fields in full bloom.

Is it worth visiting for a day trip?

Absolutely. Its compact size makes it ideal for a relaxed day trip, and you can enjoy the sights, food, and local shops at your own pace. The village is also easily combined with trips to Edam and Marken for a full experience of Dutch countryside charm.
