Pay a visit to the picturesque fishing villages of Volendam and Marken, all in 1 day! Walk, cycle or take the bus and plan your own day at your own pace.

The old fishing village of Volendam is well known throughout Holland for its lively harbour, green wooden houses, eel fishing and traditional costumes. See all these unique things for yourself on your visit to the village! Another must see is Woltjes bakery (including tasting) and the CheeseFactory (including tasting)!

Whenever you're ready, you resume your tour and set course to the second village of the day: Marken. This used to be an island, but is now connected to the main land by a road since 1957. Hop aboard of the Marken Express, sail over the Marker lake and enjoy the view over the water from harbour to harbour! Once you set foot on the peninsula, you can follow the signs to the “Sijtje Boes”, an authentic house you can visit to discover how the people of Marken lived around 1940. Another must see in Marken is the clog shoe factory, with a unique clog machine powered by steam.
