โรงแรมใน Volendam

Suzan SutherlandAlmere

Originally, Volendam was the location of the harbor of the nearby Edam, which was situated at the mouth of the IJ bay. In 1357, the inhabitants of Edam dug a shorter canal to the Zuiderzee with its own separate harbor. This removed the need for the original harbor, which was then dammed and used for land reclamation. Farmers and local fishermen settled there, forming the new community of Vollendam, which literally meant something like 'Filled dam'. In the early part of the 20th century it became something of an artists' retreat, with both Picasso and Renoir spending time here. The majority of the population belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, which is deeply connected to the village culture. Historically, many missionaries and bishops grew up in Volendam. Today there is the chapel of Our Lady of the Water, which is located in a village park. Volendam is a popular tourist attraction in the Netherlands, well known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents. The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters (although there are believed to be fewer than 50 women now wearing the costume as part of their daily lives, most of them elderly). There is a regular ferry connection to Marken, a peninsula close by. Volendam also features a small museum about its history and clothing style, and visitors can have their pictures taken in traditional Dutch costumes.

Volendam once is fishing village, the famous seafood is herrings, mussels, prawns. Now they transformed to tourist spot. Many locals bought the house near the seaside as their second house. Some of them liked to decorate miniature things outside their gardens.

Interessante cittadina turistica a nord di Amsterdam, facilmente raggiungibile con autobus che partono ogni 30 minuti dalla stazione centrale. il porto è graziosissimo e pieno di vita, numerosi negozi e fast food a base di pesce, mercato ricco di prodotti locali e formaggi della vicinissima Edam.
