Completed in 1889 and located in the heart of town, this neo-Renaissance rail station was designed by P.J.H. Cuypers, the same person who designed the famous Rijksmuseum.

Beautiful building with amazing architecture and history, there's information hubs large screen's and timetables available throughout the station with regular updates on departures and arrivals, the ticket stations are convenient speedy and it's card only payments, a very busy station any time of the day or night so plenty of time is required for people to get around the shopping area also deserves a mention great shopping options ????

The Volendam Marken Express Ferry to Marken was fantastic with a very neat clean and well-maintained ferry. Captain Richard's hospitality was simply the best including inviting us in his cabin and showing us how the meters n the ship works, gave us background of how the dam to separate the sea n River was built and how the transformation from 450 boats to 4 fishermen boat happened - a memory we will never forget! Captain Richard went out of his way to ensure all passengers enjoyed the ride and provided a great trip! We would highly recommend this experience. Thanks Captain Richard you are awesome!!
7. Amsterdam Tourist Ferry

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city center, and sail with our historical boats to Amsterdam Castle Muiderslot or Fortress Island Pampus! We are the only company that offers this adventurous and interesting tour, to some of the best kept secrets of Amsterdam. Did you know that Amsterdam Castle Muiderslot is already 700 years old, and the best kept medieval castle of Holland? Or visit fortress Island Pampus, where soldiers lived untill world war I. Both destinations offer ample activities to discover the unique Dutch water defence works, and military history. Or just relax and enjoy the sunny ride! The ferry service is carried out with a traditional barge, built in 1899, and is named Sailboa. On board you'll find a fully equipped bar, toilets, a flush deck with tables and chairs and for cold and wet days the interior is heated!

My one complaint with this trip out to Muiderslot would be the lack of signs pointing you to the boat while you're still in the city. The easiest way to know you're in the right spot is that if you see a small marina, cross the major road to the river and look for the only boat that moored their. Most likely that's what you're looking for. According to the boat operators, if you're on the tram to get there the drivers can point you in the right direction. That would have been a helpful piece of information to have before I found the boat. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the castle. It was ample time to explore. The castle was surprisingly light on visitors. I don't know if that's lock or if it's normal. There was a rather large tor group that arrived as we laughed so luck definitely played a role. The castle has been rebuilt fairly recently. So there's not a ton inside that's original. They have fitted out a few rooms with furniture, including some very unique pieces. You also have quite a dedicated focus on defense of the castle. The castle grounds include a small falconry, gardens and a cafe if you choose to eat there. It was a fun way to see a different side of Holland with out driving out of the city. If you have the time, I recommend taking the ferry to at least one of the stops.

The humble tram is THE way to scoot around Amsterdam - far safer than hiring a bicycle in this bike-crazy city. At least in a tram you're insulated from the bonkers fellow riders, daydreaming pedestrians who step out in front of you etc. There's a choice of ticket - a one-hour pass, a day pass, a two-day, three-day, four-day etc. We stayed four days, and got a two-day, but quickly bought another for the convenience of stepping on and off. You can buy them even in soft drink bottle dispensers. It saves your feet for all the walking you'll do anyway, round streets and galleries. Remember, in Amsterdam you touch in and also touch out on the pad when you use a tram.

We took a NS Sprinter train to go to Zaanse Schans (Zaandam Kogerveld station) from the Schiphol airport station. The services are very efficient, the trains are pretty clean and punctual. As a rail fan, I liked those trains in particular. The ticketing system is also very simple. If you have an OV-Chipkaart, that can be used both in NS and GVB services. Though for NS services, you have to maintain a balance of 20 EUR.
