Amsterdam

Transport
There are many ways to explore the city. Parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, if not impossible. So going to Amsterdam with your own car may not be the best idea. Locals don’t use a car, but do everything on their bike. There are many places where you can rent a bike. For example Macbike: http://www.macbike.nl/ Amsterdam has a big network of busses, trams and subways. Information about public transport is available on the website of the GVB. Taxi’s are quite expensive in Amsterdam. You can find information on this site: mytaxicentrale.nl
