If you come from abroad, consider spending a few extra days. Purmerend has a nice old Dutch city center with roots going back as far as the 1100s. The map File:Waterland 1288.jpg – Wikimedia Commons shows it situated in between various lakes which in the 1600s all became land by pumping out the water and transforming them into polders. There are scenic routes over many of the dikes surrounding these polders.
The (old as well) small cities Edam (yup that’s where the famous Edam Cheese – which we Dutch call Edammer kaas) is from, Volendam and Monnickendam (both harbour cities: be sure to eat some fish there) are close by (about 10km distance). Zaandijk and the famous but very touristic Zaanse Schans are a bit further away (about 15-20km). Amsterdam depends on where you want to go: from 15 to 35km).
Note that being north of Amsterdam, Purmerend can take a while to get to: most of The Netherlands of south-east of Purmerend, so if you travel from there be sure to take into account that passing to and over the high-way ring around Amsterdam can take far more than 1 hour by car.
Purmerend does has three trainstations; the closest trainstation to the H20 venue is named Purmerend Overwhere about 1.5km away (nope, Overwhere has nothing to do with the English words where or there, it is across the canal (historically a river) named Where.
