First Trip

[oceanryder]

Hi me & a mate will be in the "dam" our first trip here too from April 1st - 5th and are staying in a hotel on Leidseplein and was wondering how far it is from central station - walking distance or get a tram as my mate is big boned & not keen on walking long distances? Looked at the map but not good at judging distances....

Walking will take about 30mins so getting a tram might be better...

welcome to the forum

How not to get hit by a bike

this document may be found in the excellent S G Collins website recommended by FlyByNite for first-time visitors to amsterdam

imho reading this document is the very most important preparation you can do to ensure your own safety in amsterdam traffic, because being hit by a bicycle could ruin your day ...

if you have already read the document, then thanks, but if not, then please please read before you arrive, and thanks

... and are staying in a hotel on Leidseplein and was wondering how far it is from central station - walking distance or get a tram

it is walkable, but with luggage i would suggest taking the tram, the numbers 1, 2 and 5 all get you to leidseplein

without luggage amsterdam is a lovely place to walk around ...

have a great trip ...
