If you want to learn more about the Volendam transportation options available, read the information below. Although walking is the usual mode of transportation here, you may want to look for some alternatives, just in case you get tired.

Bicycle

Riding a bicycle is a popular way for transportation among the local residents, maybe due to the fact that the city is relatively small (with a population of about 22,000 people), and thus, the distances are short. Many of the nearby hotels offer bicycle rentals starting at $9 per day, and there are discounts available if you rent a bicycle for a longer period of time. There are some established bicycling rules in here. First, always lock your bike. Second, when on a crowded street, walk your bicycle instead of riding it. Third, always use a light when riding at night, and follow the road rules, as the traffic police won’t hesitate to fine you just because you’re on a bicycle.

Taxi

Taxis are a good way of transportation, but be aware that they are a bit expensive. Their rate is $2 per km, and by the end of the ride, the taxi drivers usually expect a tip of 5-10%. The good thing is that this rate is steady and doesn’t depend on whether it’s day or night. The cars are new and well maintained, which guarantees a comfortable ride. It is recommended to call a taxi from your hotel to avoid waiting for one.
