There are not many good shops near there that I know of. But you are near the beginning on the number 1 tram which will take you to Leidseplein and the center in 10-15 minutes.

Thanks, do you know how or where can I find out more ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORT? ON SITE them I mess with areas, and can not really figure out where can I buy tickets? Can I buy ONLY ONE TRAM?

How long are you staying and do you plan to return to Amsterdam again and again?

If so get the OV CHIP CARD. Its like a little credit card and it cots 7.50e for the card. Then you add money to it with a little machine, using a PIN card. You can also buy them for cash from the ticket office at the airport or at the train station.

Then you use this card to check in and out on the trams, there are no more paper tickets. And when the money runs out, you add more (again either with a machine or in person at the ticket office).

The only other option if you are here only a few days is an all day pass but I do not know anything about them.

Hope you find it useful and have a good time.

THANK YOU Your responses to both were helpful. AND YES THE OV-chipkaart Anonymous I think is the best.

Does anyone know if the 7.50 euro charge includes credit to travel on the trams ordo you then have to charge it up? cheers

That just buys the card, you have to add money to it.

ouch! - cheers

You can still just pay cash on the tram, you end up with alot of coins enjoying the CS life.
We prefer to walk or bike most places.

Yes, but paying cash tends to be more expensive....2 hours for 4 and change!

you can buy travel passes at the tourist office at Schiphol which can be used on trams, metro, bus and nightbus. (no trains) The 3 day costs 15.50

prices for the gvb tickets... I think they only sell up to 72 hours at the airport

If a pin count, bring the card to buy money on it, you can use six days as we are in March and I take particular that is within 5 years: D As for cycling, I think maybe something is winter ice below that in other years, plus I can not pedal too much because I have serious health problems in one leg

Mobstar, if there is a question there, can you ask it differently, can't quite make it out

The card will for more than one year for sure. Just do not lose it.
