Note: Bikes are the main way of getting around Amsterdam. A new metro line connecting to North Amsterdam is due to open soon. Public transportation is excellent, with an extensive tram, metro, and ferry system.

Nearly all our ‘iconic’ runs are easy to reach from a centrally located hotel or the convention center. The wonderfully preserved older part of the city is inside the S100 beltway road. If you’d like to have an in-person guided running experience in Amsterdam, we highly recommend our friends at Go! Running Tours.Īmsterdam is compact - the canals and Amstel river form sort of a half circle around the older part of the city, and it is only a few km from Central Station to the city’s outer beltway, the A10. Runners should note that Amsterdam is one of the flattest cities in the world. The Olympic Stadium, built for the 1928 games, is a good add-on or departure point for routes in this area. Further afield, Sloterpark and Amderstam Bos (near the airport) are good running destinations and easy to get to. The ‘north’ part of the city has been developing quickly and features terrific waterside runs. Highlights include the walkways along the canals, lovely runs along the Amstel River, and some of the city’s beautiful parks, notably Vondelpark, Rembrandtpark, and Westerpark. This pedestrian and cycling friendly city is also a haven for runners. With its historical canals, beautiful older buildings, and wonderful museums, Amsterdam attracts 5 million visitors annually.

Amsterdam, Netherlands is the business and cultural center of the Netherlands.
