Volendam is a popular place in the Netherlands, well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents. As a result of its isolated location and the tough vitality of the fishermen, this village preserved its character for six centuries. The characteristic small houses, which together with the canals and the drawbridges form the most picturesque spots, presents the visitor an atmosphere of geniality and romance.
60 minutes
Marken is a centuries old peninsula, once surrounded by the Gouwzee (shire sea) and the Markermeer (Marker Lake). Today, Marken is connected with the mainland by a dike, but until 1957 Marken was an isolated island.
