Best Tram To Take To Amsterdam Sites While you can get to almost everything in Amsterdam by Tram, there are a few places that trams don’t serve. Both Amsterdam Arena & Amsterdam RAI Convention Center are easily reached by Metro as opposed to Trams. For most of the other sites and attractions in Amsterdam, you can probably use a tram to get there. However you can’t use the same tram to get everywhere. And there are 14 Tram Lines to choose from, and they are not numbered 1-14. Different Tram lines serve different areas of the city, hence different sites

But slow and steady wins the race, and the trams will always get you where you want to go eventually. The Amsterdam GVB Trams Guide is an attempt to make all the tram info a tourist needs available in one place. Each tram line and metro line

Sites: Westerpark, Museumplein, Concertgebouw Comments: Only tourists with accommodations along the Tram 3 path or Westerpark visitors should use Tram 3.
