Fun Ways Of Getting About
The best way to travel short distances is by bike and there are bike rental places in most towns and cities. In Amsterdam you can take a tuk tuk, a horse and carriage, a boat, a bike taxi and even your own pub on wheels!
Bikes
| Recycled Bikes | Don't buy a bike from the shady 'fiets te koop' men. It's quite possible to get a bike on a budget by visiting this fantastic place. |
| Mike's Bikes | Bike rental and daily bike tours. |
| MacBike | Bike rentals, sales and repairs at six locations around Amsterdam. |
| Yellow Bike | Bike rentals and guided tours in Amsterdam and the surrounding countryside. |
Everything Else
| Horse & Carriage | Far too expensive to use for popping to the shops but a romantic way to travel on special occasions. |
| Tuk Tuks | Tuk tuks are a relatively recent addition to Amsterdam and a cheaper alternative to the city's expensive taxis. You can flag them down or book in advance. Price depends on number of passengers and zones crossed. A journey within the centre for two people costs five euros. |
| Bike Taxis | A common sight in Amsterdam, the electrically assisted bike taxis cost about one euro per person for three minutes. They can usually be found congregating in Dam Square and Leidseplein. |
| Gondola | Pretend you're in Venice and hire a gondola to take you around Amsterdam's waterways. |
| Nauticadam - Boat Hire | Need a boat for a party, birthday or wedding? These are your people. |
| St Nicolaas Boat club | Non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of historic boats on the Amsterdam canals. Sign up for boat rides in Boom Chicago Comedy Club, Leidseplein 12, 1017 PT map |
| Bar Bike | Erm it's a bar that you and your friends cycle around whist drinking your beer. |
| Removals | English removal man with van. |
