Volendam

VolendamBestand: Volendam haven.jpg by Gouwenaar/Wikipedia
Rows of red roofed wooden houses preserve historic Dutch architecture in one of the most iconic towns to hold on to the country’s unique culture. Fishermen continue the centuries-old tradition of the ancestral town founders in the harbor. Walking the streets, visitors may be graced with the sight of elder citizens still wearing the traditional Dutch garb the community has been known for since its humble beginnings in the 14th century. Shops line the market streets, selling anything from daily wares to Dutch souvenirs.
​

Volendam Museum offers a look into Dutch history, and visitors often dress in the high pointed bonnets and Amish-style clothing for an opportunity to take photos in traditional Dutch garb. Within the museum stand massive mosaics made from colored cigar rolls.
Volendam is a must see for anyone wishing to see the traditional side of the Netherlands come to life on the streets every day.
