This city lends itself to walking but beware. Cycling is one of the traditional ways of getting around Amsterdam and there are cycle lanes marked out in red. Cyclists show no mercy to errant pedestrians. They also ignore traffic lights.
And if you decide to hire a bike yourself to see around the city, take care when crossing the tramlines. Don’t cross at a shallow angle as the wheels can get stuck in the track!
