Getting TO/AROUND: In Amsterdam you will mostly use the tram or bus and maybe a metro. Because the rules for public transportation are all the same nationwide, please see my Netherlands Tip for this here. DayticketsMind you, a 8-strippenkaart (strip card) that is stamped off as day ticket is only valid in a certain area (such as Amsterdam inner city) for bus/metro/tram and some local trains. You need 2 8-strippenkaart for a nationwide day ticket. For more information click hereYou should note that especially for Amsterdam, you might not even need a day ticket because you can walk quite a lot. If you're going to have more than 4 rides on a day, then it is better value to stamp off your 8-strippenkaart as a day ticket. If it's going to be less (which is probable), then just stamp off strips as needed. Alternately, buy yourself a 15-strippenkaart for € 6,90 (not available in buses or trams or metros) and stamp off strips as needed. In my opinion you'll get more transportation for less money. Below you will find the link to the public transportation website for Amsterdam.

Getting TO/AROUND: Lots of people visiting Amsterdam, who want to go to Antwerp (Belgium) by train. Normal trains go every hour and take 2 hrs 9 min. from station to station. No reservation needed. Thalys goes 6 times a day, takes 2 hrs and 23 min. Reservation needed and you have to change trains at Antwerpen Berchem (one stop before Antwerpen Central). Earliest train (not a Thalys) goes at 7.23 hrs Latest train (not a Thalys) goes at 21:23 hrs Fare: Because you cross a boundary into another country, the fare is not shown on the website. To give an idea: the fare from Amsterdam to Roosendaal (the last Dutch train station before crossing the border with Belgium): 2nd class Single ticket € 17,80 Return ticket € 30,30 You'll be using Dutch Railway which means you can check all this the national railway website. Go to link below and click English at the top.

Getting TO/AROUND: Parking is horrendous in the city. The rate is € 3 per hour in the inner city and € 1,80 per hour outside the canal belt. Car parks will be around € 2,50 per hour. There are P+R parks at the edge of the city. Do consult the website mentioned below (English). A very clear and easy to use website for all your parking questions. http://www.bereikbaaramsterdam.n l/live/main.asp?subsite_id=23

Getting TO/AROUND: Port of Amsterdam Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) Port of Amsterdam, Netherlands Address: De Ruijterkade 7, 1013 AA Amsterdam Take a train to Amsterdam Central from Schiphol (6 trains per hour), after that it's a 6 minute walk. Or if struggling with luggage, a taxi might be handy since it's only a short way. The train ride costs 3,80 euro one-way.

flyingscot4 Sun Feb 8, 2009 05:17 UTC Hi AT, That looks like a car I had in the early 60's. It was the worst piece of junk I ever had, and I didn't have it long. Except for those seats; they just kind of enveloped you. Nice pages. | pieter_jan_v Thu Nov 20, 2008 18:04 UTC Hoeze www.de-engel.net bij jouw Bazar restaurant tip? PJ | ranger49 Tue Oct 7, 2008 19:06 UTC Such a long time since I was in Amsterdam - the city walk with a local sounds an ideal way to get to know the city all over again. | unaS Mon Aug 4, 2008 17:33 UTC Well I can certainly see that having visited for 5 days I still missed a great deal. I must return!!! |
