If you want to plan your next summer trip and you don`t know which destination to choose, I would recommend a nice little place in the Netherlands: Volendam. This is a fishing village situated in North Holland in the municipality Edam-Volendam. I simply adore fishing villages, they have something that can't be found in all the other towns, where people rush all day long. In fishing villages there is that fresh air, calm and tranquility because people just enjoy life without being in a hurry.

It is not surprizing that many artists, among which Picasso and Renoir, spent time here, as the sights are absolutely breathtaking and they will instantly amaze you!

Many travel here to see the old fishing boats and the traditional clothing, which some residents still wear on folkloric events Visiting Volendam with family or friends will definitely be a memorable journey.

First of all, this is a beautiful village to discover and you will manage to do this only by wandering on its streets. This is the best way to discover this place!

Secondly, Volendam is just a short ride from Amsterdam and you can go by bus as well. If you want to visit more surroundings of Amsterdam there are a lot of cheap opportunities to travel in the Amsterdam regio. For example, you can buy a one day card for Amsterdam and its surroundings, which will allow you to use the bus or train 24 hours. This way you visit the most important places around the Dutch capital. The price of such a ticket is around 13 €, which is really cheap considering all the means of transportation that you can use. Be attentive though, when you use the card in the bus you will have to validate it not only when you get on the bus, but also when you get off it!

Moreover in Volandam you can enjoy the local cuisine and see some of the traditions of this wonderful place. Don`t worry about the language, most of the inhabitants know English and will be more than happy to help you!
