"EXPLORE THE BACKSTREETS" Top 5 Page for this destination Volendam Things to Do Tip by hevbell

Since we were there in October, Volendam wasn't nearly as busy as I'm sure it gets in the middle of summer but it was still nice to get away from the really touristy area at the harbour, with all the gift shops & restaurants, and explore some of the quieter backstreets of the old town.

If you look closely at this photo you can just make out one of the typical lift bridges crossing the canal in the background.
