Amsterdam, its canals, its bikes

If you want to treat yourself to a short romantic weekend in Amsterdam here is some information that will allow you to prepare your stay and make it more pleasant.

First of all transport several possibilities according to the budget, the plane, the train or the car. The car to avoid if you only visit Amsterdam because it is difficult to move around but especially to park.

We tested the train, the Thalys, in 1st and 2nd class, between the two the comfort is quite similar. The difference is that in 1st class you are taken care of by a steward or a hostess who takes great care of you, who serves you drinks, a meal tray or small sandwiches throughout the trip. In 1st class you also benefit from free wifi if you wish to continue your reservations for your activities.

On arrival at Amsterdam, first stop Schiphol Airport, you can also book a hotel near the airport shuttles are free to hotels but it is not the most convenient way to visit the city. If we tell you about it, it's because we also tried this option, there are 'RER' type trains to Amsterdam and back to Schiphol approximately every 20 minutes during the day, this rhythm runs every hour from from midnight until 6 am.

If you choose to stay near the airport, we recommend CitizenM hotel, 5 minutes walk out of the terminal on the right, you can book online on their website, the rooms are not very big but original and very clean, a large bed, cable channels and VOD are free. Computers and wifi are at your disposal, it's really a concept to discover. There is also another  CitizenM In Amsterdam South.

The next stop  Amsterdam Central the station the nerve center of the city. First of all, if you have luggage and want to get rid of it very quickly, there is a locker inside the station, very large but which fills up quickly on weekends, especially on Sunday mornings on the day of departures. We advise you to be there before 10:30 a.m. after they are generally full. The cost is around 7 euros per day, the lockers work automatically with a VISA card.

Leaving the station you have two options for getting around the rental of bike where the tram.

The tram the ticket costs 2.6 euros per person for an hour's journey or there is a day pass for 7 euros, you have the choice between 1,2,3,4 day tickets. The Trams all depart from Central Station, the first thing to do on board is to ask a map of the tram to the driver, he will serve you in all your travels.
