The former fishing towns of Volendam and Edam lie on the shore of the Markermeer, north-east of Amsterdam, about 40 kilometres from Schiphol. The drive takes roughly 30 to 40 minutes via the A10 ring and the N247.
Day trips around the Markermeer
Staying in Volendam is a good starting point for exploring Waterland: the wooden houses of Marken, the canals of Monnickendam and the historic centre of Edam, known for its seasonal cheese market. Ask your driver for a stop on the way if you want to see one of these villages before checking in.

We drive to hotels on the Volendam dike, guesthouses in Edam’s historic centre, holiday parks in the area and private addresses in Monnickendam and the Waterland villages. Visiting the island of Marken? It is connected by road and can be booked as a destination or stop.
