During a visit to Volendam or Marken, crossing the lake is a must-do activity. With an enjoyable boat trip with the Volendam-Marken Express, you have the opportunity to visit two unique villages in one day. You will be surprised by how different Volendam and Marken are, considering that they are only a few kilometres apart. The houses are different, the people are different and even their religions are different, for ‘Volendammers’ are Catholic and ‘Markers’ are Protestant.
During the 30 minute boat trip, you will get a lot of information about Volendam and Marken and their differences. Meanwhile you can enjoy amazing views across the water, of the old sailboats and authentic harbours. And don’t forget to bring your bike with you, so you can explore the wider area around these unique cities.
