No end of options in this department!

If you’re not so keen on walking or cycling then you can zip around on Amsterdam’s famous trams that run throughout the city centre.

As its nice and compact there is no real need to use The Metro (underground) in Amsterdam but if you want to venture outside the centre then it offers a quick and inexpensive way to get around, as does the bus and tram network. Visit the website of GVB, Amsterdam’s public transport company.

Otherwise, you could hire a car in Amsterdam (on our sister website Novacarhire.com) and enjoy complete independence or simply cruise your way up and down the city’s canals by tour boat.

Taxi’s are also plentiful and are a useful way to get to your hotel when you first arrive in Amsterdam. But once you get your bearings, the public transport system is your best bet.

Actually, all taxis have a blue number plate with black lettering and depending on the mood of the driver you might be able to negotiate a favourable rate. Or if you’re on a budget take a Treintaxi, which basically means you share with other people and thereby cut the cost!
