Train - to/from Schiphol Airport: Trains from Schipol
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': TO
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: Most visitors to Netherlands arrive via Schipol airport and to get from there to Amsterdam your best bet is to take one of the trains. They run every 10 minutes or so and it costs 3 Euros one way.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The trams are everywhere in Amsterdam and no trip to Amsterdam would be complete without using one. You can either buy tickets from the driver or buy a stripkarten for more than one trip.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Amsterdam is best seen on foot. We spent most of our time walking the city and practically all the sights are within walking distance.

    Bicycle / Cycling: Bikes
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Bicycle
    Getting TO/AROUND: I have never seen so many people cycling in a city as in Amsterdam. Bikes are everywhere and provide a quick way to navigate the city. We rented bikes on the last day - there are various rental shops all over the city. Most require a deposit or your passport and rates vary depending on what type of bike you want and how long you want it for. The cheapest place I saw was on Bloemnstraat near Anne Frank huis (6.75 for a day) though we rented them from a shop in Brouwersgracht near the station (10 Euros per day).

    In the picture Ruth is thinking - 'He can't really be cycling at full speed and looking the wrong way!!'

     Glad you rented bikes. I want to do that, too. I'm going to Amsterdam in May for a few days -- really looking forward to it.
