The city
What to expect from Volendam.
Volendam is a fishing village on the shore of the Markermeer, about 20 km from Amsterdã, in the municipality of Edam-Volendam. The walk begins at the harbor and along the dyke, with fishing boats and wooden houses. The Volendams Museum tells about village life between 1850 and 1950 and shows the traditional costume. By boat you can reach Marken, a former island of houses on stilts, and a few kilometers away is Edam, the cheese town, with a summer market.
