My friend and I rented a car while in the city. It is NOT worth it. You can get around just by taking the tram, train or even a bicycle. If you are staying in a hotel that is right in the middle of everything, scratch the car idea because it is easier to take public transportation or even to walk than it is to drive. Parking is pretty expensive and that is if you can find a place to park! Theme: Car/Motor Home

Amsterdam is absolutely a city that needs to be explored on foot. Unless you have a medical condition that prevents you from doing a lot of walking, in which case the trams are excellent, hitting the bricks is the way to go. The city center is relatively small, and there are no hills to climb. Do yourself a great service and take it all in as you cruise around town on the best transportation that was given to you, your feet! Just watch out for bicycles with bells-a-ringing flying by!!!

 people, bikes and cars go together by nurochka Since Amsterdam is a small place I would advice you to explore it by foot. you'll have a chance to see every interesting spot. don't afraid to get lost, it's almost impossible anyways - streets are curved or laid out in circles. following canals is a good idea too. remember, walking is healthy!

 The tram w/out me on it! by garridogal I found Amsterdam to be an extremely walkable city. I walked just about everywhere. It was a great way to get to know the city and get to learn where everything is. I did take the tram a couple of times, however, and found it to be safe, prompt and maybe a little overpriced. Taxis are also overpriced so pack your comfy walking shoes and hit the road. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 While walking in Amsterdam, watch your step! by guell Amsterdam is flat and compact, and most of the sites are within easy walking distance from the center of the city. There's a lot of old irregular brick, so gals, avoid high heals! Watch out for bicyclists. Avoid the reddish colored paving as it is reserved for cyclists, who WILL get mad and yell obscenities (I would too!) at you. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Amsterdam is the type of city that you need to simply explore on foot. While you can rent a bike to get around, its not needed. The city is set up for walking. Most attractions you'll want to see are with in a 10-15 mins walk, in addition the city is so beautiful that the walk around town are fantastic. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 one of many canals by excitableone we feel as travelers that the only true way to see a city is by foot, otherwise you just fly by and miss little things..sure the trams in amsterdam are great ( so im told ) and the cabs are a ripp off, if your brave and sober you can ride a bike but that's not for me..we walked a little over 100 miles in the 10 days we were there, maybe more?

 Walking by BlueBerry_7 There will be much, much walking to do, so make sure to wear your walking shoes. Make certain they are comfortable with good support and grip cause it gets wet alot on those cobblestone streets and sidewalks. I found my Timberlands to be the best for walking around Amsterdam.

 walking over bridges in Amsterdam by kilat Walking is a good alternative in Amsterdam. ** You can walk within 20-maximal 45 minutes to every interesting place you want to go to. You see more of beautifull Amsterdam, and you are able to take pictures. I live in Amsterdam, and I also walk often. ** If you are not sure if it is to far, you can always follow the tramrails in the middle of the street (but don't walk on it!). If you don't want to walk anymore, you can get a tram. ** There are also organized walks in the city, showing typical Amsterdam houses, places and things. And also very funny walks. Ask the V.V.V. (touristic information) outside the Central Station, or look at one of the websites below.
