The trams are a great way to get around Amsterdam and see the sights. The trams are a blue grey color and are often referred to as streetcars. There are 17 tram routes in the city and of those 12 connect with Centraal Station, so this is the best place to go to if you wish to travel by tram.

Tickets for the trams can be purchased from the drivers, conductors or ticket dispensers, as well as from the station of tourist information offices. You can also purchase day tickets for one or more days.
