• Park at the edge in the central lot as you drive in, since driving inside Marken needs a permit; the museum is about a 5-minute walk
• Boat to Volendam from Marken's harbor with the Volendam Marken Express, which sails every day, so you can arrive by road and leave by water
• Marker Museum in six joined cottages, with traditional costume and a furnished old home; kids through 12 pay €2, adults €4

Marken was an island in the Zuiderzee until 1957 and is now joined to the mainland by a causeway. The old village is a cluster of traditional wooden houses, narrow lanes and a small harbor, and cars without a permit stay outside.

The Marker Museum fills six connected cottages, one set up as a 19th-century home with local costume. From the harbor, a ferry crosses the lake to Volendam.
