Amsterdam Public Transportation Amsterdam is a wonderfully walkable city with most major sites located in or near the city center. Public transport is excellent and driving is strongly discouraged within the canal ring. Of course biking is the preferred Dutch way to travel and some would say the only way to truly experience the city. To get to Hotel Hortus, take Tram 9 from Central Station or Tram 14 from the Dam Square (Palace) Get off at the Artis (the Zoo) stop. Walk back 1 block in the same direction the Tram just came from, turn left on the 1st street (Plantage Parklaan) and we are number 8 on the left side, directly across from the side of the Botanical Gardens. In total about 15 minutes. Tram Amsterdam Public transport in Amsterdam - GVB (gvb.nl) is the Amsterdam public transportation company providing integrated metro, tram and bus service throughout Amsterdam and its surrounding areas. In 2010 one comprehensive ticketing system has been introduced allowing you to travel on trams, metro, busses and even trains using one Amsterdam transport OV-chipcard. There is a whole complexity of these cards, which carry the credit you purchased earlier on special machines located on stations and at the entry of many supermarkets. There are 24-, 48-, 72-, 96-, 120-, 144- and 168- hour OV-chipcards, which allow for unlimited travel on all trams, buses, metros and night buses for the duration of the card and provide economical way for visitors to explore the city. 24-hour OV card is now € 7.50 and € 2.50 for children age 4-11. A one hour OV card can be purchased onboard from GVB drivers and conductors, however this is not recommended due the premium charged for this ticket: it costs € 2.80 for one hour unlimited travel on all busses and trains in the city, counted since the beginning of your first journey. This card is not valid on another day or longer than one hour, even if your actual first journey has been very short. If you have been in Amsterdam before and used the strippenkaart, we should inform you, that these tickets are no longer in use for Amsterdam transport Amsterdam Trams provide the best way to get around Amsterdam (map) and run regularly until 12:15am. Amsterdam Buses are primarily used to reach outlying suburbs and after the trams have stopped running. Night buses run from midnight until 7am with routes connecting to Central Station, Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein. Amsterdam Metro While the most important Metro line led under the Amsterdam Old City is still under construction, the four already existing lines will quickly carry you to the distant suburban areas of the city. Three Amsterdam transport Metro lines start their run from the Central Station. Some of the Metro stations like Amstel Station and Sloterdijk, share their platforms with regular trains and may be a convenient place to begin your travel out of Amsterdam amsterdam.info/transport/
