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...

thanks for the quick reply

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 ...
