A free map of all tram and bus routes in Amsterdam
is available from tourist offices or the GVB office in front
of Central Station. Numerous guides and streetmaps are available
and you can pick one up as you arrive at the airport. More
detailed city maps can be bought at bookstores or large gas
stations. There are maps of Amsterdam's full transport network
in individual shelters, and diagrams of routes are found on
board.
The transit map published by the city transport company is
very useful and is available at the GVB Ticket Office
across from the central railway station or at the tourist
information offices. It is also reprinted as the center spread
in the monthly guide to activities and shopping published
by the tourist office. The map shows the locations of all
major museums, monuments, theaters, and markets, and also
shows which trams you need to take to reach them.
Maps and route guides for cyclists are available at larger
bookstores such as Scheltema on the Koningsplein and from
the Royal Dutch Touring Club, as well as
tourist offices.
