Getting Around Amsterdam

By Car

Not a very good idea. Narrow streets, one way roads, canals and sparse parking facilities make motor navigation around the city a nightmare. For the same reason, taxi rides would be expenive and lengthy. Try out any of the following options instead.

By Tram, Train or Bus

Amsterdam has a metro system that is efficient and affordable. Buy the great-value dagkaart which covers all city routes on the metro for Fl. 12 and can be bought at GVB ticket office or from any newsstand. The Circle Tram 20 offers discounted hop on, hop off tickets for one to three days and is convenient as the tram routes pass close to most of the attractions.

By Foot

You’ll figure this one out yourself. Just take your sporting spirit and some explorer’s stamina with you, and you will be thrilled with how easy and enjoyable a walking tour around the canal lined city can be.

By Bicycle

You can rent a bike For Fl 12.50 per day. Bike rental companies are located near the central station. Be sure to lock your bike when not in use as bike theft is rampant. A good way to get around the city.
