- Is it save cycling in Amsterdam?
Amsterdam is best explored by bike - it's fast, fun and very local. From our BnB, you can easily reach the city centre, canals, and neighbourhoods like a true 'Amsterdammer'.
Riding
The city is flat - with a few high canal bridges - and bike-friendly, with dedicated (red) bike lanes everywhere. Just follow the traffic rules, use hand signals, and stay alert. Be especially careful around tram tracks - always cross them at an angle to avoid slipping.
Parking bikes
At night you can park your bikes safely in the garden patio at the B&B. Throughout the city bikes can be parked in special bike racks and there are even a few free indoor parking facilities. Always lock your bike properly, avoid blocking sidewalks or bridges, as incorrectly parked bikes may be removed.
