A very safe city. The main concerns are pickpocketing and bike theft.

Violent crime is very low.Safe to walk around most areas at night.
Pickpocketing is common in crowded tourist areas and on trams.The biggest daily danger is from cyclists; always check bike lanes before crossing!

Transport

An excellent, efficient, and integrated system of trams, buses, metro, and ferries.

The tram system is the best way to get around the city center.The GVB network is seamless and uses a simple tap-on/tap-off system.Free ferries to the hip Noord neighborhood.
The system stops running relatively early on weeknights.Tickets are expensive.

Tips for Adventure

Take the Ferry to Noord

The free GVB ferry behind Central Station takes you to Amsterdam-Noord in minutes. It's a former industrial area now full of cool art spaces, restaurants, and the A'DAM Lookout.

Escape to a 'Hofje'

These are hidden, peaceful inner courtyards surrounded by almshouses, originally built for poor elderly women. The Begijnhof is the most famous, but others can be found in the Jordaan. Be quiet and respectful.

Book Everything in Advance

For the Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, and Rijksmuseum, it is essential to book timed-entry tickets online weeks or even months ahead. You cannot buy tickets at the door for Anne Frank.

Dutch Directness

The Dutch are known for being very direct and to the point. This is not meant to be rude, but rather efficient and honest. Don't take it personally.

Tap Water is Excellent

The tap water in Amsterdam is of very high quality and perfectly safe to drink. Bring a reusable bottle.

Pharmacies ('Apotheek')

Identified by a green cross. They offer professional advice for minor health issues. For general items, visit a drugstore like Etos or Kruidvat.

Watch Out for Bikes!

This is the number one rule. Cyclists move fast and expect you to be aware. Always check bike lanes before stepping into them. They have the right way.

Don't Walk in the Bike Lane

The red-colored paths are for bikes, not pedestrians. You will get yelled at if you walk or stand in them.
