When your feet might be hurting or you just want to have a look at the centre of Amsterdam from within a car and you don't want tp pay for an expansive cab try the "stop&go" (formerly known as the "opstapper", a cheap shuttle bus along one of the canals. You can hop on and off for just one euro.

The bus travels between the Central Station and the Stopera.

The Opstapper is a minibus service that runs from Central Station to the Stopera (Waterlooplein Flea Market). At this point of writing, the city council is thinking of stopping this service, which I feel is stupid of them. All they have to do is promote the use of it more effectively. Anyway, it offers a picturesque trip along Amsterdam's more popular canals, the Prinsengracht. The great thing about the Opstapper is that it will pick you up and drop you off anyway along its route. Very convenient if you're going to Anne Frank House, or the houseboat museum, etc.
