The first tour of today is in Volendam. The best way to enjoy it is to use the izi.Travel route "Volendam Kunstenaarsdorp" available via this link:

Park your car and depart to Marken with "Rederij Volendam Marken Express".
When visiting Volendam, the crossing to Marken cannot be missed. It is, therefore, an experience in itself. The view from the water on the folklore Volendam cannot be described in words. Enjoy snacks and drinks at The Captains Bar during the crossing. Listen to the stories of our crew or follow the audio tour to find out more about both villages (old harbours). Whether you sail on the lower or upper deck, you are just as wonderfully away from it as you sail on the water of the Markermeer.

The Marker Museum is housed in six historic residences in the old centre of Marken. The museum offers a unique insight into the special history of the peninsula. When you enter the museum, you feel like you were in the old days. One house has been furnished in the same way as a Marker fishing family lived in it around 1920, with authentic pieces of furniture and utensils. In addition, the museum displays a beautiful textile collection, a unique collection of Marker traditional costumes and paintings by famous artists Jan Moenis and Reinier Peijnenburg.

At Brasserie de Taanketel you can enjoy a card that changes at least every 3 months to always offer seasonal products. They do this in a casual atmosphere. You can enjoy a wide range of dishes and dishes. Not too much tam-tam, not overly culinary delights, but distinctive.
