Amsterdam by Bike is The Truly Dutch Way of Sightseeing in Amsterdam:
Amsterdam by Bike
There are many ways of getting around Amsterdam – by bus, tram or metro – but the preferred Dutch way of travel is cycling. Amsterdam is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world and there are nearly 400 kilometres of bicycle paths criss-crossing the city. What’s more, the land is pretty flat and there are not many hills to conquer.
If riding a bike is second-nature to you and you’d like to experience Amsterdam by bike, there are several fun bicycle tours that will allow you to enjoy the sights and flavours of Amsterdam the Dutch way.
