Volendam, Historical fishing village in North Holland, Netherlands

The streets of Volendam feature rows of wooden houses painted in traditional colors, while fishing boats line the harbor along De Dijk waterfront.

Dating from 1357, Volendam emerged when residents built homes around a new harbor following the construction of a canal connecting Edam to the Zuiderzee.

The Volendam Museum displays traditional costumes, photographs, and artifacts chronicling daily village life from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s.

Visitors reach Volendam via bus 316 from Amsterdam Central Station, with the journey taking 25 minutes to the Centrum bus station.

Hotel Spaander maintains a collection of paintings from artists who stayed at the establishment during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
