Though Amsterdam is perfectly walkable, the city has trams, buses, and rental bikes for quicker transportation.

Walking

Walking (and gawking) is a must in Amsterdam with its revamped houseboats, ubiquitious canals, superb museums and notorious red-light district. 

Tram and Bus

The city is divided into several zones, with the majority of the attractions near Centraal Station. Buses cover the same routes as the tram, and connect to destinations further out of the city. Night buses run from 12:30 AM. to 6 AM with reduced itineraries and frequency.
