Discovering Beursplein: Amsterdam's Vibrant Market Hub

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, start by heading towards the center of Volendam. Follow signs directing you to the N518 road toward Edam. Continue on N518 until you reach the exit for the A7 motorway. Merge onto the A7 and follow the signs for Amsterdam. Once on the A7, continue for approximately 20 kilometers. Take exit 2 toward Amsterdam-Centrum. Follow the signs for the city center, and you will eventually reach the Damrak area where Beursplein is located. There may be parking fees in the city center, so be prepared to pay for parking.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Beursplein by public transport, first take the bus from Volendam to Edam. Buses operate frequently, and you can catch a bus at the central bus station in Volendam. The journey to Edam takes about 15 minutes. From Edam, transfer to the train at Edam-Volendam train station. Take the train towards Amsterdam Central Station. The train ride will take approximately 30 minutes. Once you arrive at Amsterdam Central Station, exit the station and walk towards the Damrak area, which is about a 10-minute walk. Be aware that tickets for buses and trains will incur costs, typically around €5-€10.

• Walking

  If you are already in the vicinity of Volendam and prefer to walk, make your way to the waterfront and follow the path along the harbor. Continue walking towards the main road until you reach the junction with the N518. Cross the road carefully, and follow the signs leading to the bus station. The walk will take approximately 30-40 minutes depending on your pace and starting point. Ensure you have comfortable footwear as the route involves some uneven surfaces.
