Traveler advice

Ways to save

Taxis

Take Uber or Bolt instead of a regular taxi, it’s much cheaper
Getting around

The best way is by bike

The Netherlands is flat, so it is very easy to bike anywhere! If you are not up for it, then the best is to walk and take the tram. Metro lines are quite limited within the city.
