Amsterdam is built around water, so it makes sense to see it from a boat, then from a bike.

## Getting there

Trains from Schiphol reach Centraal Station in fifteen minutes.

## Where to stay

The Jordaan or De Pijp, away from the busiest streets.

## What I would do differently

I would rent a small electric boat for an hour. No licence needed.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
