 Ferry Crossing the Het Ij by appaloosy
Once on other side, you can leisurely walk and/or bicycle this relatively unexplored area of Amsterdam, which leads to the beautiful, quiet secluded countryside of Nieuwendam, Vliegenbos, and beyond...
You won't find THIS quiet little suburb mentioned in commercial guidebooks or tour guides! This relatively newer and built up suburb of Amsterdam provides a quiet respite from the hustle-bustle commercialism of downtown Amsterdam! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

So I come full circle. The first time I came across VirualTourist on the web, I was looking for information regarding the ferry behind Amsterdam Central Train Station. I found it incredible that there were so many different tips describing the ferry. Who were all these people with so much time on their hands that they felt it important to describe a five minute ferry trip. And now I am one. While no one tip provided all of the information I needed, together, the tips provided the details I needed to be able to meet a friend north of Amsterdam.
So now for my own tip. Yes, there are several ferries leaving from north of the central train station. None of them take more than five or ten minutes to ride, so it’s easy to recover from any mistakes. In fact, if you wanted to get a quick feel for the canal tours without paying the price, this is a free trip you can take on the water. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Leaving Centraal Station to the north brings you to a rank of GVB ferries that cross the river Ij. These run every few minutes and carry people and bikes, the traffic that can't use the road tunnel. These smart blue ferries cross the river and also run up and down stream for half a mile. These ferries don't really go anywhere interesting for tourists but they are free and worth a few minutes if you have free time waiting for a train. For tourists the most important ferry is probably the one to the NDSM wharf where the Amstel Botel and Pollox restaurant boat are moored. That one runs every 30 minutes and there are large digital countdown timers to tell you how long you have to wait till the next one arrives.
