 Bike hire will costs about €7 for the first day and €5 for subsequent days. Most rental shops ask for a deposit between €30 to €100 or a credit card imprint, along with an additional form of identification. Optional insurance, at around 50% of the hire charge, can also be taken.

 Driving in Amsterdam is not recommended. The city’s streets are not big enough to accommodate the tens of thousands of cars owned by the city’s residents, let alone the 500,000 tourists who annually arrive in their cars. As a result, parking spots are limited and very expensive. |

 Rather than hailing a taxi in the street, it is more usual in Amsterdam for one to either order a taxi by phoning the Central Taxi Office (tel: 020 677 7777) or pick one up at a taxi rank, which are located at Centraal Station, Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein.
