If you’re planning to use the public transportation in Amsterdam, this pass is a great money-saver! See the symbols at the bottom of this poster? Those are the tree main modes of transpo: GVB (metro), Connexxion (buses) and train (express).
WHERE TO PURCHASE IT FROM: You can purchase these at the airport transportation office (far left if you are facing the airport main entrance/exit on your way out) or the main transportation office in front of the central station. You can find all the route brochures on a swivel brochure holder on the far right side of the office when you are facing the counters.
HOW TO USE IT: You need to scan your card with chip everytime you GET ON the bus/tram/train and everytime you GET OFF. If you get caught with your unscanned card, you will get fined.
HOTELS: The closer you are to the stations or main attractions, the more expensive it gets. But the advantage is you have great access to a lot of things. Ibis is a good hotel chain. They also have sister hotels in the area. If you’re only staying there overnight, the airport hotels are cheaper and great if your flight is early. But if you are staying for three nights, airport hotels are a pain in the rear to get to and from because some don’t have shuttles or have limited shuttles that go back and forth.
From the airport to the main central, take the Train. It's about 15-20mins. If you hop from bus to tram, it will take you 45mins to an hour, depending on the wait in between the two modes of transpo.
On a side note, make sure you eat at the Pancake Bakery. Their pancakes are very different from ours. Their savory ones are just as good as the sweet ones. Mmmm- mmm good!
I am glad you take pride in what you write. This makes you stand way out from many other writers that push poorly written content.
