Creator's Key Takeaways

We've just uh caught the short bus from the uh cruise terminal and bargain €15 turn. So that was an absolute bargain.

So, we've just headed to the station now and we'll figure out how we get to Amsterdam itself.

From the train station, Amsterdam is just simple to explore. Walk around at your own pace.

It was uh cheaper to do it this way than actually pay NL's charges.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the shuttle from the cruise terminal to the train station for €15 return.
Buy a train ticket for €2 each way to Amsterdam Central.
Explore Amsterdam on foot from the train station, visiting the red light district and main square.
Sample free cheese in shops and consider a canal boat tour.
