 | Amsterdam Walking Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 31 |  |
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!!!

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!

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.

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

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. 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

If you want to travel around the center of Amsterdam, walking is the best option. You get to see everything, it nice and flat everywhere, and you realise the city center is not as big as imagined. All the shops are close together, so you can find anything you want in just a short while. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The canalboats get you around the canals, but to have a complete view of the centre of Amsterdam, one has to get out and start walking. Therefor the canalbus / museumboat are excellent means of transport for a visitor to Amsterdam. One chooses the most popular things to do and see and simple connects them by boat and short walks. The walk from the Central Station-area over the Damrak to the Dam (square) is a must. Added are walks through the red light district (Walletjes), the shoppingstreets (Kalverstraat etc.) and the Vondelpark. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
