A very nice and fast way to reach Amsterdam from other cities – both from the Netherlands and abroad – is by train.
Do you want to go to the center? Then get off at Amsterdam Central. There are also other stations in Amsterdam, which may be more convenient to travel to depending on your destination. To know the fastest route for your trip, we recommend that you enter your destination address at 9292ov.
I arrive in Amsterdam by car
Of course it is also possible to visit Amsterdam by car. When booking your stay, check if there is an option to park your car at or near the accommodation. Isn’t that the case? Then check Mobypark; here you can easily reserve a parking space at various places in the city.
Keep in mind that Amsterdam is a large and busy city; exploring the city by car is therefore – with some exceptions – perhaps not the most efficient way for everyone. Plan your trip in advance so that you can avoid rush hour as much as possible.
