Volendam Tours and Tickets

Q: What are the must-visit attractions in Volendam?

Must-visit attractions in Volendam include its colorful harbor, where you can watch fishing boats returning to shore; Volendam Museum, which is home to life-sized dioramas; The Cheese Factory, where you can tour the factory and see how Edam cheese is made; and the seafood restaurants that serve freshly caught seafood.

Q: Do any tours combine Volendam with other nearby attractions?

Yes, day trips to Volendam and other Dutch countryside highlights are among the top things to do in Amsterdam. Tours typically combine Volendam with the windmills and clog factories of Zaanse Schans, cheese tasting in the town of Edam, and a ferry ride over to the island of Marken to admire its quaint architecture.

Q: How do you get from Amsterdam to Volendam?

Volendam is 14 miles (23 kilometers) from Amsterdam via the N247 road. You can take the 316 bus from Amsterdam to Volendam; it departs 3-4 times per hour from Amsterdam Noord and takes around 30 minutes. If you’re pressed for time and want to avoid public transport, tours nearly always include round-trip transport.

Q: How long should you spend in Volendam?

How long you should spend in Volendam depends on how much time you spend in Amsterdam—if you only have a few days in Holland, just a few hours in Volendam is enough. If you’ve got more time to spare, arrive mid-afternoon and stay overnight to experience the fishing village once the day trippers have departed.

Q: What’s the best month to visit Volendam?

The best months to visit Volendam are from April through September, which are Holland’s spring and summer. The sunshine and lesser chance of rain are ideal for soaking up the seaside charm of Volendam. The Volendammer Kermis festival takes place on the first weekend of September and celebrates the village’s cultural heritage with live music and food stalls.

We picked a private tour...

We picked a private tour rather than bus because one of our party has arthritis. Alan went above and beyond for us to make this experience fantastic. We enjoyed it thoroughly and got out of it more than we had hoped. He adjusted the tour to suit limitations.

Deb_B, May 2026

Amazing day- all the Dutch essentials! Loved it!

We had a great experience with our guide, Ryan Singh. Saw all things Dutch, including beautiful tulips, windmills, wooden clog making, and cheese making on an amazing farm. Very knowledgeable and we never felt rushed. Plenty of time to see everything and to shop. We had the private tour and really appreciated taking everything at our pace.
