Volendam Map / Location

One of the Netherlands’ most visited towns is this quaint former fishing village teeming with rows of wooden houses and where locals still occasionally don traditional dress. The women’s costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes. Volendam is a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of nearby Amsterdam, a mere 11 miles away.
