Volendam comes to life at the harbour. Boats line the quay, visitors stroll along the Dijk and the buzz of people enjoying their day drifts from the restaurants.
Take time to look around. Find a lovely view over the Markermeer, admire the facades and pop into a shop for a souvenir. Or order a portion of kibbeling and enjoy the view of the water.
Here you do not always have to be doing something. Sitting down and watching is just as much part of a day in Volendam.
Volendam has more to offer than the harbour alone. Behind the Dijk you find a different atmosphere: narrow streets, small houses and surprising glimpses.

That way you discover not only the well-known highlights, but also the details that give Volendam its own character.
