Marken is a good place to go to if you like to stretch your legs a bit whilst you are out for the day. As others have said, it is a pretty village reachable from Amsterdam in about 40 minutes. You need to take the number 311 bus from Central Station. Buses go from both the front and back of... More

We chose a different place to take our dinner. We decided to be in Marken for a change. Marken is not too crowded and amazed to see how truly the water and land meet at the same level when the tide is on its highest.

See my review of Volendam. Same goes for this tour which was combined with V-dam. Fun and tacky but glad we did it. Pretty town and local eats. Also you will see the windmills here. A good tour guide also adds to the fun! More

Came over to Marken on the boat from Volendam and stayed for about 2 and 1/2hrs. Walked to around the village, which has some nice fishermens houses. There isn't much else to see except a museum and a clog workshop but the place has a nice feel to it. Sat outside a pub/cafe in the habour and had excellent Dutch... More

One of the last isolated villages on the IJsselmeer. You cab get there by car over the dike and park at the outskirts, but the boat from Amsterdam stops right in the center. People still wear traditional costumes (and not just for the tourists) Visit the souverirshop across from the jetty, the guy that works there speaks at least 20... More
