When it comes to getting to Amsterdam it is relatively easy and there are a number of options available. However, getting around Holland’s capital city offers a multitude of transport options; all you have to do is use your imagination. There are many things to see and do after arriving on flights to Amsterdam and the keen tourist will be eager to squeeze as much in as possible.
To achieve this, utilising the many transport options is a must. However, when on holiday, it is all about doing things differently, breaking with the norm, so with this mantra let’s ignore the use of cars whilst in Amsterdam. Plus, any visitors will soon discover that this mode of transport really isn’t the most effective way to get around.

On Yer Bike. There are bikes, more bikes and even bikes in the canals in Amsterdam. It is thought that the number of bikes in the city far outweighs the human population. So, with this in mind it isn’t surprising that, on the roads, there are separate bike lanes.
Yet, because bikes are so popular in the city, it is thought the air is slightly cleaner making it a more appealing way of getting around. Bike hire can be found throughout the city, particularly just off from Dam Square. Anyone hiring a bike will find that they can access many of the top sites, including museums like the Heineken Museum or the Van Gogh Museum, Vondelpark which is great for a cycle around in good weather and the Red Light District.

Voting With Your Feet. Like getting on a bike, walking around the city offers you access to all the major landmarks. The one advantage that walking has is that it gives you time to appreciate many of the buildings as you meander by. Not the fastest way to get around, it does though give you the freedom to go wherever you want without having to worry about your bike.

A view from the canals. Finally, we have transport via the canals. Amsterdam city is a labyrinth of canals so during a visit it is advised that you admire the city from a different view point. There are plenty of canal boat hire services waiting to navigate you along the waterways, unlocking some interesting sights, not available to the biker or walker.
This can be more expensive than the previous two but should be used as a treat, at least once. Cheap flights Amsterdam unlock this amazing city with its many different transport options.
