5Volendam

Located on the shores of the IJsselmeer lake, Volendam is a charming fishing village that has retained much of its traditional Dutch character. Known for its colorful wooden houses, traditional clothing, and lively harbor, Volendam offers visitors a glimpse into the past, with a culture deeply rooted in fishing and maritime life.

One of the most beautiful and interesting aspects of Volendam is its preservation of old customs. Locals still wear traditional costumes on special occasions, and visitors can dress up in traditional Volendam attire for photographs at one of the many photo studios in town.
