Can I combine Keukenhof with a traditional-costume photo in Volendam?
Yes: Volendam, the old fishing town north of Amsterdam, is known for photo studios where you dress in traditional Volendam costume for a printed portrait, and it is about 55 minutes by car from Keukenhof. An 8am Keukenhof slot, lunch by the harbor and an afternoon in Volendam fit one day of about 9 hours, €720 in Van Class or €585 in Business Class for the car.

Volendam can be windy, so hold on to the bonnet. Ask the studio about group photos if the whole family wants to be in one picture, and go on a weekday if you can.

Do I need to book the studio?
Check with the studio you choose; we plan the stop around the time you agree with them.
Is Volendam on the way back to Amsterdam?
It lies north of Amsterdam, so the car loops back through the city or along the ring road.
Is this too long a day for elders?
Then do Keukenhof one day and Zaanse Schans, Edam and Volendam another.
