Getting Around Amsterdam
Amsterdam and the Netherlands have an excellent integrated public transport network. The train service run by Nederland Spoorwegen (NS) is generally very good and reasonable value for money. Amsterdam itself has an extensive transport system (1,900 stops in total) comprising trams, buses and the Metro. Note that the flexible 'Strippenkaart' ticket which was valid throughout the Netherlands is slowly being phased out and replaced by the OV Chipkaart. |
The
centre of Amsterdam is small enough to be explored easily on foot or by bicycle.
If you are a first time visitor you should take a boat cruise around the city's
canals which is a relaxing and pleasant way to see Amsterdam. |
