Transportation

Amsterdam is an incredibly scenic city that is easily navigable by bike or foot. However, if you would like to use public transit, the GVB day pass costs €8 for a 24-hour period and grants you access to all public transport (trams, buses, and metros). If you prefer more flexibility, renting a bike costs around €15-20 per day, making it a popular mode of transportation for locals and visitors alike.

Useful Tips

If you have extra time, visit the Anne Frank House or the Van Gogh Museum. Alternatively, if you have less time, skip Amsterdamse Bos and visit the nearby Jordaan district, packed with shopping and dining options.

Airports

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is the main airport, located 17.5 km southwest of Amsterdam. The airport offers various transport options to get into the city, including a 15-20 minute train ride to Amsterdam Centraal Station (€4.50-€10), taxi services (€40-€60), or a ride-sharing service (€25-€35).
