If you're planning to grab some Dutch herring, I suggest you hit the fish stalls early, like around 11 AM. Otherwise, they run out and the lines can get long if you wait too late.

Don’t miss the chance to chat with the local fishermen. They usually have great stories and recommendations for where to eat the best fish in Volendam after the auction.

I recommend checking out the interactive exhibits first thing when you arrive. They can get pretty crowded by midday, and you’ll wanna grab the best spots for photos without a ton of people in the background.

I suggest buying your ticket online in advance to skip the lines; the queue can get pretty long, especially on weekends. I did this, and it saved me a ton of time!

If you're planning to take photos in traditional costumes, make sure to arrive early for the best selection and a more relaxed atmosphere. I regretted rushing through it later in the day.

I suggest visiting on a weekday morning around 10 AM to avoid the crowds. It felt way more enjoyable and you’ll have more time to browse the exhibits without feeling rushed.

My advice is to check for any special exhibitions or events happening when you visit. I stumbled upon a cool photography session that was included in the entry fee!
