    Getting TO/AROUND: According to the Official Dutch Travel site, no city on the planet has more bikes per capita or is more bike-friendly than Amsterdam.Statistically I have been told there are more miles of bike trails than auto roads in Holland.You will see cyclists EVERYWHERE and bikes parked almost on top of one another in some of the more popular places in the city center.Its a bone fide and acceptable form of transportation...and the last time I was visited there were pickup and dropoff points that allowed you to use a bike for FREE..GRATIS...LIBRE..give it a shot
    you can see tons more in a day with less fatigue on a bike.

    Getting TO/AROUND: There is a metro..but its limited and frankly the trams are so easy to take and go almost evrywhere so that I prefer to take them and simply watch the world go by...on a few rainy days I just hopped aboard a tram and rode it on a complete run out/back. Its a great way to stay dry and still see the city.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Canalboats arent the quickest mode of daily travel,but by all means, take at least one canal tour.The tourguide will point out places and tell you historical information you wont find on your own readily.Its not very expensive and i usually save it for a mid-day junket..part sit down/part tour after Ive hoofed around the city half the day.
