Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful small scale cities in the world. Before or after a journey through the Netherlands, spend some time here and enjoy the atmosphere of a beautiful European city without the jarring intensity of a larger urban environment.

From the winding waterways to its world famous museums, there’s much to see and do in Amsterdam, though finding your way around the canal system can be confusing, so don’t forget your STREETWISE® Amsterdam city map.

The STREETWISE® Amsterdam Map will enable you to visit all the cool and cultural sites. Walk among the 17th and 18th century architecture, join with the fleets of bicycles to tour the city or just meander through leafy Rembrandt Park to experience the funky mix of locals and foreign backpackers. Whether you want to walk or take public transport to the famous Riksmuseum, the STREETWISE® Amsterdam Map will help get you there.

Dam Square, about five minutes’ walk south of the main station, is the center of town and much more is within walking distance. Leidsplein, with much of the city’s cultural life and nightlife, Rembrandtplein and Musemplein are just a few of the special places that make Amsterdam a joy to explore on foot or bike.

A complete index of hotels, points of interest, cultural sites, and parks, are clearly listed, as well as tram lines and museum boat stops.

4.0 out of 5 stars Streetwise Amsterdam, June 4, 2000

By	Stephanie Martin (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Streetwise Amsterdam (Map)

Trams, metros and automobiles! Streetwise Amsterdam is the map you need. Wandering through Amsterdam's semi-circular canals from Anne Frank House to the Van Gogh Museum, you'll find your way without difficulty with Streetwise Amsterdam. All major museums and points of interest are shown.

Daring enough to try public transportation? This map shows tram and metro routes for the city center together with the street - no more trying to match public transport grids to street maps!

Very small, laminated to be waterproof (which any Amsterdam veteran knows is invaluable!), and no fumbling with huge paper maps that won't refold correctly! If you will be traveling outside of the city center you will need a larger map as this does not cover the entire metropolitan Amsterdam area.

As an American living in Amsterdam for three years, I still use this map to find the quaint cafe's and other treasures hiding in small side streets and alleyways.

3.0 out of 5 stars tram lines inaccurate, November 2, 2004

By	John H. Davis (Bellingham, WA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Streetwise Amsterdam (Map)

This is an excellent street map. A nice touch is that it is covered in plastic, making it rain-proof. However, the marginal note says it was updated in 2004. This so-called update must have been done on the basis of out-of-date data. Some tram lines have changed their routes and some have been discontinued. In addition, no bus lines are given on this map. This map is recommended for visitors who do not intend to leave the tourist area, but the visitor who wishes to explore outside the tourist area and who requires more complete and accurate public transportation data should purchase a map at the government transportation office across the street from the main train station. Although many museums and other attractions are indicated on the map and referenced on the index overleaf, some museums and attractions are not found there. A visitor should also have a good guidebook to learn about other sights to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, March 11, 2004

By	Craig Hawkins (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Streetwise Amsterdam (Map)

This was an invaluable tool for the two times I've visited Amsterdam. The map is very easy to read, has enough landmarks added to keep you busy, and the "glossary" on the back of the map will ensure you never get lost. Whenever I hear of a friend visiting Amsterdam, I make sure they buy this map before setting foot in the country. I can't recommend this map enough.
