Cycling in Amsterdam: Inside Knowledge on How to Get Around<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you step out of Central Station and make your way to our hotel in Amsterdam center<\/a> , you will notice it immediately. In Amsterdam, the bicycle rules. This is the same near our hotel next to Amstel staion<\/a>.  More than half of all trips in the city centre are by bike, and there are more bikes than cars or people. Cycling in Amsterdam is an obligation when you visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter the age, gender or income of an Amsterdammer<\/em>, everyone rides a bicycle. Bankers, students, elderly, kids, lawyers, hipsters, parents with their babies, pregnant women \u2013 everyone rides their \u2018horse of steel.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riding a Dutch bicycle is like sitting on a chair \u2013 convenient, comfortable and cleverly designed. Since you sit upright, you easily can see everything around you: shops, restaurants, parks, all the people. You can also chat with your friend cycling next to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because of its strong frame, you can stash all your groceries (or your dog!) in a sturdy basket on the front carrier, in some handy panniers on the back, or you can balance the goods (or your friend!) on the back luggage rack. In Amsterdam, you see it all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
