 The Circle Tram is GONE but
there are others! by Upstate1NY
Now you have your ticket for the Tram, buy a map and ride the around, noting the stops that have places you want to visit. Once you become "oriented" to the center city and you will be ready to "see the sights" Leave a Comment Theme: Other

As a cyclist I rarely use the trams, but I am highly in favor of them on general principles and was very impressed with the fast and efficient tram system in Amsterdam.
Some of the newer trams even have a live human conductor who sells and checks tickets. By his presence he also serves to keep order and prevent vandalism.
You don't see this any more in Germany, where they go to absurd lengths to avoid hiring human personnel, and then moan about the unemployment rate being too high.
Second photo: Tram number 9 goes from Centraal Station to Diemen via Damrak, Waterlooplein and Linnaeusstraat. You could take this line to go out to the Frankendael House, for example.
Third photo: Tram 25 goes from Centraal Station to President Kennedylaan via Damrak, Muntplein and Weteringcircuit. In my photo it is waiting for the lights to change, meanwhile lots of cyclists are going by. Leave a Comment

Amsterdam has a fabulous tram system... they are fast and regular and easy to use. Trips in 1 Zone are 1.60E. You can buy the tickets as a strippenkaart (10 I think) from the VVV office at the Leidseplein or Centraal Station or buy them individually on the tram. Leave a Comment

 The tram in Amsterdam by kilat
* You have to get in the tram by the driver or the ticketsaler (at the back or in the middle), it is not allowed to get in at another door (with a gate).
* The driver has a free map of the tramroads. You can also find them on the map at every tramstop. You can find the number of the tram above the window at the frontside of the tram, and also at the backside.
* You can buy a ticket by the driver or the ticketseller, but it is cheaper to buy a "strippenkaart" before you use the tram (see my Amsterdam travel guide).
* When you want the driver to stop at the next tram- or busstop, you have to push the button, near to every chair.
* If you want to get out, you have to push the button to open the doors. Don't wait to long to step outside and stay together, the doors can close faster than you expect. Watch out for your bag: it might get between the doors (or pickpocket).
* The trams don't drive at night, only during daytime untill about 24.00 o'clock.
* The doors are closed by the driver. If you stay in the half open door, it won't close completely, untill you step outside. A bell shall ring.

 Catching zzzzzzz's every
chance we get! by Geisha_Girl
The trams cover most of the city center. There is a loop/tourist line (# 20) that makes it easy for tourists to visit the city. This is a great system.........when you can find the stop to catch it!
We were trying to make our way to the Van Gogh museum on foot..........but after realizing the distance it was from Centraal Station, we thought we would take the tram to save time.
Trams are also great sources to help you catch up on much needed Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz's! ;-) Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
