    Getting TO/AROUND: The humble bicycle would appear to be the most common form of transport in Amsterdam. There are sqillions of the things with some impressive bike parks to hold the item until the owner has finished whatever business they are on.

    Amsterdam has a great network of cycle lanes all over the city. These lanes are painted red with the cyclist having the right of way, always!! So be warned - if you stray onto the cycle lane you may get run over & it will be your fault. It's hard to remember this so just be wary when you hear a small bell ringing - it's likely a cyclist coming up behind you. Cue a famous Queen song........

    CENTRAAL STATION (CS) - Central Train Station: Central Station

  • 'Mode': TO
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: The start point of many trips to Amsterdam is either the airport or Central station. There is a very regular service between both so easy to get into the middle of town. It's a short walk up the street to Dam Square where you can start your tour of the wonders of Amsterdam.
