2 Best Sights in Volendam, The Randstad

A fascinating working dairy farm, Kaasboerderij Alida Hoeve lets you discover how cheeses are made, and, needless to say, purchases are greatly welcomed.

You can learn about Volendam's history at this museum, located next to the VVV tourist information center. One highlight is the reconstructed period rooms, like the school filled with mannequins adorned with folkloric costumes. Look for the photograph of chanteuse Josephine Baker clad in traditional folkloric Dutch garb.
