On Saturday, we went to Amsterdam.It took about half an hour from the city outskirt to weave through the small streets of Amsterdam to reach the city centre. The city really tries very hard to discourage people from driving, can’t blame them as this is a busy centre. The public do have alternative, the public transport system here is really top notch.
The other thing that really starts to hit car owners here is the high parking rate, 3.40 euro for an hour. And if their next plan is approved (of course will be) they want to increase that to 5 euros an hour.This is the view of Kalverstraat, the main shopping lane in Amsterdam. It is a long but narrow shopping street and can be quite an intimidating experience making your way through huge crowd of people.
