 Volendam by SnoopySue Take a bus from Amsterdam central bus station (nearby Amsterdam Ceentral railway station). I am not sure which number, but just ask some of bus drivers (they are all very kind and well informed). Since all the places around Volendam are the similar and the harbour cannot be seen from the bus, ask driver to tell you where to get out. After you finish walking tour through the Volendam, and eat some excellent seafood available there, you can take boat trip to Marken, similar but smaller place on the other side of the cost where you can take bus which goes directly to the Amsterdam central station (runs approx. every hour - last about 20,00).

If you want to use bus, I think it is better go to Volendam first, then continue to Marken. There is bus (no 108 or 110??) directly to Volendam from Central station. From Volendam-Marken there is no direct bus, you have to transfer and change to another bus. Seems complicated, but it was very easy. Please ask the bus driver how to go to Marken from Volendam, he will tell you where to stop and wait for another bus (the bus driver is kind and helpful). You can buy the ticket from the bus driver. You can select single or family (valid for 2 adult and 3 children). Using 1 day bus ticket is cheaper than buy single used. One day bus ticket for family (Family-dagkaart) on Feb 2007 is 10 Eu.

There are frequent buses to Amsterdam from the bus station. The route takes you past some lovely canals, good photo opportunities! The buses stop running past 12 I think, after then you will have to get a taxi Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

There is a bus that you can take in Amsterdam, near the Central Station, that takes you to all these little cities, Volendam, Edam, etc. You can buy a ticket (inside the bus) that allows you to travel all day in this circuit, which is good if you want to see a lot of cities and not just stay in one all day.

by balhannah A cheap way to get to Volendam is by the Bus. The Bus leaves from the Bus Station near Central Station. If you are standing facing the Station, then its the bus station to the right. Here you will find the Buses and signs of where they are going. For good value BUY THE WATERLAND TICKET. It lasts you a whole day covering the Waterland area. You can get on and off the bus as much as you want, as long as you keep using the "Arriva" Bus company. You buy the ticket from the Driver as you get on the Bus, and just show to each driver at your new destinations when boarding the Bus. Cost in 2009 was 7euro FOR A TICKET FOR THE WHOLE DAY. There are family passes available as well Theme: Bus

 Get closer to the sea by penumbra Volendam and Marken are neighbors on the IJsselmeer. They’re both quaint villages that are attractive and pleasant to walk through. The land route between these two towns is much longer than the sea route so there is a ferry in place to help out travelers. The thirty minute crossing may not get you there any faster but the experience will probably be more enjoyable than going by road. Leave a Comment
