Amsterdam Cycling Tips for Visitors
#Amsterdam #AmsterdamTravelTips #distantlands
There are more bicycles than people in Amsterdam. Cycling for the majority is the primary way of getting around and because of this the Dutch take cycling seriously. There is little patience for people who muck up the system. Before you rent that bike learn the rules of the road and once you rented, get to know your bike and practice riding it where you will not disturb others.
How Amsterdam Became a Bicycle Paradise
The Dutch capital Amsterdam is widely known for being bike-friendly. But it wasn’t always a model cycling city. Public outrage at rising traffic casualties in the Seventies caused city planners to rethink their approach to urban design.

Amsterdam City and Weesp North Holland in Netherlands
Amsterdam, a city built for bikes
Hire a bike in Amsterdam to make the most of the city. Not only is cycling in Amsterdam cheap and accessible, it’s safe too. The city is equipped with a whopping 400 kilometres of cycle paths – that’s farther than the distance from Amsterdam to London. Needless to say, it’s a breeze to hop on a bike to traverse the city’s symbolic cobbled streets, attractions and canals. There’s simply so much to do and see on a bike in Amsterdam, but you have to get your hands on one first. Luckily, Amsterdam has you covered with its impressive selection of bike hire shops and locations.
Weesp is a small historic town of about 18,000 inhabitants, located in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands, south-east of Amsterdam, on the river Vecht. It was once fortified, and several of the bastions, moats and forts still survive. In the Amsterdam region, Weesp is the nearest small town that has survived as an independent entity. It is only 3 km from the end of the Amsterdam metro, but the wide Amsterdam-Rhine Canal keeps it geographically separate. Weesp is a rail junction, and very easily accessible. The town is surrounded by open grassland.

BIKE ADVENTURE IN AMSTERDAM
We fly to Amsterdam for our first travel experience outside of Germany. The city is beautiful and alive when we arrive, and we rent bikes to ride around the city. We get familiar with our surroundings for the rest of the day and call it an early night after meeting up with our couch surfing host.
- How we chose to stay in Amsterdam.
- How we chose to get around the city.
Join me on my adventure for my first time being in Europe, and my first time vlogging! I will be living in Stuttgart, Germany for the summer - longer if I can successfully obtain a visa. During this time I will be exploring as much of Germany and the rest of Europe as I can.

The Dutch like a variety of bikes, ranging from regular men's and women's bikes to carrier bikes and reclining bikes. The fact that the land is so flat, the mild climate, the short distances and the wonderful infrastructure make biking in Holland not just practical, but great fun as well. So if you want to see more of Holland, one of the best ways to do it is by bike.

Visit The Netherlands - What to Know Before You Visit The Netherlands
Read the Blog for More Information on The Netherlands:
Heading to The Netherlands & Not Sure What to Expect? Well here we go through the top things that tourists should know when they visit The Netherlands.
1. It is The Netherlands, Not Holland. Holland is the name of two counties in The Netherlands.
2. The language of The Netherlands is Dutch, but as a tourist you really do not need to know any Dutch as the Dutch speak English extremely well throughout the country.
3. The Euro is the currency in The Netherlands and you can find ATMs all over the country. Credit cards are widely accepted as well.
4. The Netherlands is a small country with a very well developed transportation network. Therefore you can easily take trains all over the country in a fast and efficient way. Make sure you tap in and out with your tickets as you enter your platforms.
5. Biking is a very popular pastime and way to get around Dutch cities. There are a number of bike rental agencies throughout The Netherlands. Look for one near a train station and rent a bike for the day to explore, or sign up for one of the numerous bike tours around the country.
6. The Netherlands is rather safe for tourists. Do take care with pickpockets and extremely aggressive beggars in Amsterdam's more popular areas. The bike line is for bikes only so watch out unless you want to get hit by a bike and yelled at by a local.
7. Drugs bring a lot of tourists to Amsterdam and the Dutch/German border. If you are going to The Netherlands to experiment with soft drugs make sure you go to a Coffee House they have menus and trained personnel that can help travelers. We do not recommend you do drugs and highly discourage travelers from doing this. However, we do know a number of tourists do go there for that. So please be safe, and speak with the coffee shop attendant about your previous experiences so they can help you.
9. The best things about the Netherlands are the quaint cities and towns like Haarlem, Leiden, Groningen, as well as the larger cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The architecture and museums throughout the country really are outstanding. And yes you will see quite a few windmills as you explore The Netherlands.
10. The food is hearty in The Netherlands, make sure you try a bitter ballen or a traditional pancake or herring from one of the stalls. The market and food halls have tons of great treats for travelers. There are numerous international restaurants all over The Netherlands as well.
11. The Netherlands is not a cheap place to visit, however the prices are on par with the US & other major European destinations. Amsterdam accomodation will be your biggest expense. Therefore you may want to stay outside of Amsterdam to have a cheaper and more Dutch experience.

Is Amsterdam just weed, prostitutes and bikes?
I took an overnight ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam, giving me one day, well, about 6 hours to run around Amsterdam, the capital city of The Netherlands, to see what this famous city had to offer. Is Amsterdam just weed, prostitutes and bikes?
I've never really wanted to come to Amsterdam as I'm not into weed, prostitutes or riding bikes, but when I tell people that, they always tell me that there's far more to see than what the city itself is famous for. Prostitution and weed are both legal in The Netherlands, so people, especially drunk Brits flock to Amsterdam to try out the local delicacies, pretty much ruining the place for other people. The ferry was about half-full, but that amount of drunk Brits is still hard to deal with. I know I've been one of them drunk Brits abroad on many occasions and I can see how annoying it is to be around them.
I ran around the city centre and the surrounding areas of Amsterdam in the limited time I had available before getting back on to the ferry to do another overnight cruise back to Newcastle. I'll be releasing a video about how that was next week.
From what I saw, Amsterdam is marketed heavily towards prostitution, weed and pancakes, as you'd expect. That's pretty much all I saw whilst I was there dodging bikes. The Dutch are class; every Dutch person I've ever met has been awesome, but wow, if you get in the way of somebody riding a bike, they'll let you know about it. I didn't, as I didn't go into any of the bike lanes, but I did hear A LOT of Dutch people shouting at tourists for being in their way whilst riding.
Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world. Amsterdam is also the cultural capital of the Netherlands. Amsterdam is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, receiving more than 4.63 million international visitors annually, this is excluding the 16 million day-trippers visiting the city every year.[164] The number of visitors has been growing steadily over the past decade. This can be attributed to an increasing number of European visitors. Two-thirds of the hotels are located in the city's centre.
I took a short walk through the red light district, or de wallen as it's called to see what the fuss was about. Not going to lie, wasn't impressed, I thought it was extremely seedy and harsh on the women. I'll be releasing a video next week about my thoughts on the red light district and prostitution in general in Amsterdam.
De Wallen, also known as Walletjes or Rosse Buurt (Rose Burt), is a designated area for legalised prostitution and is Amsterdam's largest and most well known red-light district. This neighbourhood has become a famous attraction for tourists. It consists of a network of roads and alleys containing several hundred small, one-room apartments rented by sex workers who offer their services from behind a window or glass door, typically illuminated with red lights.
My view overall from this short trip to Amsterdam isn't a great one, it was dirty, it smelt bad, there didn't seem a lot to do in the centre apart from smoke weed and bang prostitutes or eat waffles. The waffles were great.
This hasn't changed my view on Dutch people, they're probably the best nationality in terms of personality that I've met on my travels - I've not yet met a Dutch person I didn't like.
