1. Volendam
Volendam, Netherland’s postcard destination with traditionally attired locals, streets lined with timber houses, harbour filled with souvenir shops and old fishing boats and quaint atmosphere, is well-deservedly a tourist magnet. The town barely 20kms away from Amsterdam in the north is also referred to as ‘the pearl of the Zuiderzee’.
Unique and charming to the core, Volendam offers a walk into the past not only through its architecture but the daily lives of the locals. Don’t miss visiting Volendam is you ever wish to have a close encounter with the mediaeval Dutch culture and history.
