Getting there
Getting to Purmerend: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), about 26 km from the city centre in a straight line; Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM, 71 km) and Eindhoven Airport (EIN, 121 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
Many thousands of commuters daily take the A7 to get to their jobs in Amsterdam (~30 min). It's the only main road in, and while road improvements and extra lanes have lessened the daily traffic jams, this is still a very busy piece of highway during rush hour. The N235 is the alternative, and is the shortest route if you're headed for North-Amsterdam. Even outside of rush hour however, it's only a few minutes shorter, if at all. The N244 passes through Purmerend on its way from west to east, allowing connections to nearby Volendam (in the east) and Alkmaar in the north-west.
Getting around
Volendam Cycle Route - Polders and fishing villages along the Zuiderzee coast (45 or 37 km). Starts at Purmerend train station.
