Along with narrow, one-way roads, scarce parking – that's expensive to boot – and multitudes of pedestrians and cyclists on all sides, you also have a disorienting tangle of canals to grapple with. If you do decide to drive, frustration and expense will no doubt be your companions. Getting around Amsterdam by car probably isn't the best method. This is where officially approved taxi drivers congregate. Travelers are advised not to take rides from drivers soliciting within the airport instead, find the taxi rank at the airport's exit. Taxi fares from the airport to the city center typically cost 40 to 60 euros (about $50 to $75). And if you purchased an I amsterdam City Card, all your rides on public transportation are covered.įrom the airport, you can reach the city center via bus, train or taxi.
Pedaling through an unfamiliar place might not be for everyone, though for those travelers, there's also a perfectly respectable public transport system – the GVB – which offers metro, bus and tram service. What's more, there are several guided bike tours to help you navigate traffic.
Plus, Amsterdam is known for its biking, and you'll find that rental shops canvas the city. Numerous canals, impatient drivers and narrow roads (ringing the Canal Belt) make maneuvering the city via car interesting, to say the least. Once you've flown into the nearby Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) and settled into your hotel, we suggest you inquire about getting your own two wheels. The best way to get around Amsterdam is by bike.
