Known as Kras Stadion (with AFAS sponsorship linked to AZ), it has been the home of FC Volendam since 1970, with a capacity of 8,184 spectators and a legacy in the Eredivisie. It represents the football pride of Volendam, a fishing town with a strong sporting tradition.
The best time is during the Eredivisie season (August to May), ideally in spring or autumn to avoid crowds. Visit in the morning on sunny days for the best photos, or on a Saturday match day for a vibrant atmosphere.
Yes, it has ramps, lifts in the stands, and adapted toilets; inform them when booking the tour if you need assistance. Nearby parking is accessible; check details on the official website.
Nearby you will find Volendam's historic center with its wooden houses, Volendam Museum, and the harbor with traditional boats. Amsterdam and the cheese market in Alkmaar are about 15 minutes away by car; combine your visit with a walk along the dike.
