Getting around
Trams are an easy way to get around in Amsterdam. Tram journeys are paid for using the ov-chipcard. For € 2,60 you can buy a disposable ov-chipcard in the tram. With this card you can travel for one hour. If you a planning to use the tram a lot, itÂ’s cheaper to buy a ov-chipcard at the GVB ticketshop at Central Station. From Central Station tram 1,2 and 5 will go directly to the Leidseplein.
In case you would like to order a taxi, the best Amsterdam based company is: ?TCA: +31 (0)20 777 77 77?. Mostly they will arrive in 5 minutes.
But the easiest way to travel in Amsterdam is by bike. You can rent a bike at MacBike.
