Getting There & Around
Trams are the best way to get around and are fully accessible. Amsterdam is famously flat, making it excellent for walking and wheelchair use. Canal boats are charming but access varies. The GVB day pass covers trams, buses, and metro. Cycling is the local way of life, but watch out for bikes as a pedestrian.
