Airports

A cheaper option is the Amsterdam Airport Express bus, which leaves bus platform B9 every 15 minutes. A single ticket is just €4.75. You’ll be in your hostel before you know it.
Train
Arriving by train is a pleasure in itself. Amsterdam’s Centraal station is a neo-Renaissance building steeped in history. For both national and international travellers, Centraal is a transport hub providing links to the rest of the city, and the country too. For local connections it has three Metro lines, 10 tram lines, countless bus lines and five ferry lines.
Bus
You’re likely to arrive at one of two points if you journey to Amsterdam by bus. There’s Centraal station in the heart of the city, or there’s Amsterdam Amstel. It’s further out but it’s not difficult to get into the city from there either – there are plenty of public transport links to other city districts.
Getting around
Amsterdam has an efficient network of trains, trams, buses, and ferries. A good investment early on in your Dutch adventure is the public transport chip card (OV-chipkaart). You can use it on trams, buses, and the metro. It’s the most convenient option for backpackers exploring the city.
There are plenty of options available if you’d rather rent a bicycle. It’s the traditional way to see Amsterdam and it’s relatively inexpensive too.
