Marken is small enough to walk end to end in under 30 minutes. Bicycles can be hired at the harbour. No cars are needed or useful; the island road is shared with pedestrians and cyclists. A passenger ferry runs to Volendam (about 30 minutes) from spring through autumn — the ferry schedule is seasonal, so check times before relying on it. Bus 315 runs from Amsterdam Central Station via Monnickendam to Marken when the ferry is not running.
