A great way to see the city

I stayed in Willemspark and used the tram line #2 to get to and from the central district. Trams run mostly on-time. You can buy one-hour as well as one-day tickets from the conductor on the rear of the train on most lines. Most stops have digital displays that show arrival times. There are small benches on every stop to make it easier on people with mobility issues.

    Best Way To Get Around
    There are plenty of trams and metro running around the city and they are probably the best way to get around the city. There are different ticket tickets you can buy - one hour, 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours. Depending on what you plan to do will depend on the ticket you buy. If you are going to be based in the city and travel about to places in the city then a day, two day or 3 day ticket will be best for you. If you are just using the tram to get to a destination (eg Centraal Station) then the one hour ticket will be good for you. The trams are low floored and easy for getting on and off and there are priority seats for those that need them. Tickets can be bought at Centraal station and on the trams themselves or also from the GVB travel centre which is outside Centraal station. The staff I met were also friendly and helpful and considerate.

    It does what its supposed to
    Simple, easy and cheaper if you get the pass. Was there for a week so picked up a 7 day pass at the airport €37, allows 7 days worth of travel from first check in (168 hours) Easy to use on bus, tram , metro - NOT valid on NS trains. I can see them getting these passes onto your mobile soon but its nice to have a ticket in your hand - you feel like your travelling. The Amsterdam system is one of the best, its easy to use, and if you need to change a route its possible without getting lost or confused (It maybe helps I've been a few times) If only everywhere was as simple and cheap as this - can always be cheaper thou of course, but I don't feel ripped off like in some countries (UK take note)
