Introduction

This cycle tour is brought to you courtesy of the city of Amsterdam’s Infrastructure, Traffic and Transportation department (dienst Infrastuctuur, Verkeer en Vervoer), in collaboration with the Amsterdam branche of the Cyclists’ Union (Fietsersbond), to mark the occasion of the Vélo Mondial 2000. That year, international attention has been focused on the bicycle when Amsterdam has played host to ‘Vélo Mondial 2000’. Many cycling-related events have been organised. A free photo exhibition, entitled ‘City-cycling in Amsterdam and Peking’, was held in the inner court of the Amsterdams Historisch Museum (Amsterdam Historical Museum) from June 9 to September 3. On June 18 the Bicycle Festival, Fietsfeest 2000, has taken place in the Vondelpark, and from June 19-22 the RAI conference centre has been the venue for a major international congress on the role of the bicycle in the twenty-first century. In addition, a number of seminars and excursions have been organised.

This cycle tour is designed to show you Amsterdam’s many varied and often surprising aspects. Not only does it take in the historic city centre, it also shows you other neighbourhoods, and demonstrates that Amsterdam is a city with ‘green’ credentials. The text provides information about Amsterdam and the measures that have been taken to make cycling in the city an enjoyable and safe experience.

The route description is renewed and updated in the spring of 2004 by Roland Haffmans. Thanks to him!

Cycling and Amsterdam are synonymous. Nevertheless, the present popularity of the bicycle in Amsterdam isn’t something to be taken for granted. Between the 1930s and 1960s the bicycle was very popular in Amsterdam, as in many other European cities. The arrival of the car resulted in a sharp drop in bicycle use in the 1960s and 1970s. In the mid-1970’s this prompted Amsterdam to begin considering a policy of actively promoting cycling. The turning point came in 1978 when a city council was elected that opted for a policy geared to preserving the fabric of the city, renovating the older districts and curbing car use while encouraging cycling and use of public transport.

In the 1980s the cycle policy gradually took shape. This resulted in much discussion about the introduction of bicycle facilities in the city. Space in Amsterdam is limited and subject to many conflicting demands. You will see the outcome of the debate during this cycle tour. Many of the facilities for bicycles you will encounter en route were instituted during the last fifteen years. The use of the bicycle in the old parts of Amsterdam has increased significantly over recent years, and for the residents of these neighbourhoods, the bike is the most important means of transport.

Guide

The cycle tour is approximately 37 km long. Riding at a moderate pace, it should take you about 4 hours to complete. In Rembrandtpark in Amsterdam West, it is possible to take a short cut making it some 10 km shorter. The opportunity to do so is clearly indicated in the accompanying route description.

The route description starts and finishes in the Vondelpark. It is also possible to start and finish at other locations in the city:

   1. The guarded bicycle parking (fietsenstalling) at the RAI railway station. From the bike sheds turn left on to the cycle path. Enter a tunnel and on leaving it, immediately turn right (sign to Zuidoost). You can then follow the route description on Number 1 in the margin.
   2. The guarded bicycle parking (fietsenstalling) at the Amstel railway station; from the bike sheds first cycle to the large roundabout (Prins Bernardplein). Cross over and turn left (sign to Zuideramstel). At the traffic lights you come to Berlagebrug (Berlage bridge). Here you turn right onto Weesperzijde. You can then follow the route description on Number 2 in the margin.
   3. Amsterdams Historisch Museum, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 357; you can follow the route description on Number 3 in the margin.
   4. Van Hallstraat, Haarlemmerweg; you can follow the route description on  Number 4 in the margin. You enter Van Hallstraat.
   5. Jan van Galenbad, Orteliuskade; you can follow the route description on  Number 5 in the margin. You enter the bicycle path alongside Orteliuskade.
   6. Christoffel Plantijnpad, Pieter Calandlaan; you can follow the route description on Number 6 in the margin. Take Christoffel Plantijnpad in the direction of Nieuw Sloten.

It is recommended that you take a map of Amsterdam with you on this tour. Should you find that road-works necessitate a detour, or that the directions are unclear, or that you have taken a wrong turning, then you will be able to find the route by using your map in conjunction with the street names printed in bold in the route description. The most suitable map to take with you is the Stadsplattegrond (City map) for cyclists in Amsterdam published by Citoplan in collaboration with the Amsterdam city council and the Fietsersbond (Cyclists’ Union). This can be purchased in a number of shops, including the Museum shop in the Amsterdams Historisch Museum.

As many safe routes as possible have been included in this cycle tour. In the old parts of the city it is very busy.  So be alert in traffic and show consideration for other road users. Obey all traffic rules during this tour. You ride this tour at your own risk.

Route description

From Vondelpark, take the exit for Emmalaan. You find this exit, coming from the center (entrance Leidseplein) by cycling into the Vondelpark and always slantwise to the left. The exit with a bridge goes to the Emmalaan. Follow Emmalaan to Emmaplein. Cycle around Emmaplein and continue along the second section of Emmalaan. Cross over at the traffic lights, carry straight on across Valeriusplein and cross a road. Then take the cycle path diagonally opposite that runs under the school building.

There used to be heavy cartraffic here which caused considerable nuisance to the school and led to numerous dangerous situations. Now this part of the street has been closed to cars, the situation for pedestrians and cyclists has improved.

Cycle over the bridge and you arrive at Olympiaplein. Turn right and take the cycle path and after a few metres you turn left and you will pass the sportfields on Olympiaplein. At the end of the street take the cycle path that begins on your left. You follow the cycle path as it curves to the left to the cycle traffic lights. Here you turn right and come out on Parnassusweg.

Cycle to the end of this street. Beyond the bridge there’s a cycle path that leads downwards to run alongside the motorway. After some 300 metres, in front of the court building where the cycle sign posts are, turn left into the tunnel (much of the route description below now follows the cycle sign posts for A’dam Zuidoost). Carry on onto the wide cycle path.

A few hundred metres further on you will see the railway station Zuid/WTC to your right. In the next few years this station will be developed into one of the most important traffic hubs in the Netherlands. The high speed trains to Paris and Germany will terminate here, and many intercity and local trains will also stop here. It will be a hub for numerous metro lines, while trams and (local) buses will also stop here. The city of Amsterdam aims to develop this area into a metropolis, the economic heart of the Netherlands to be known as the Southern Axis (Zuidas). Trains and motorway will go underground, and a string of high-rise office blocks as well as housing and other facilities are planned. Already you can see a number of office blocks under construction while others have recently been completed. One of the first projects will be the construction of a huge, futuristic underground guarded bicycle parking, right in front of the entrance to the station.

You are cycling along the so-called Groene Zoom- cycle route, an important connecting route between Amsterdam West and Amsterdam Zuidoost (southeast). A number of schools lie on this route. The positioning of the cycle route in the the Zuidas and route safety are key points in the debate over how the plans are to be realised.

You arrive at a T-junction and turn right through the tunnel and immediately turn off to the left through another tunnel. This takes you straight into Beatrixpark. Follow the main cycle path that, after a while, runs between the motorway and the RAI. Past the RAI you carry on straight through the tunnel.

1. The guarded bicycle parking (fietsenstalling) at the RAI railway station

Immediately after the tunnel bear right into another tunnel. You cycle under the motorway and a railway station. Immediately after coming out of the tunnel turn left (a cycle path has been painted on the paving stones of the footpath). After yet another tunnel you will come to a T-junction. On the opposite side is the entrance to the wonderful Amstel Park, which is definitely worth a visit.

Take a left at the T-junction and head for the bridge. To your right you can see the Amstel Park and a little later you’ll be cycling over the river Amstel, to which Amsterdam owes its name. The cycle path slopes back down to ground level and towards the end curves to the right. Turn right at the T-junction and you will reach to the Amstel.

At this point you’re cycling through Amsterdam’s green wedge. At various points around the city green zones penetrates deeply into the urban landscape. That means that wherever you live in Amsterdam, a short trip by bike will take you into the countryside. Various local authorities and institutions have cooperated to lay out cycle paths and walking routes in these green zones, just like the path you’re cycling along now. This bicycle tour will take you through a number of these green wedges.

When you get to the river Amstel, turn right. You follow the river for quite some distance. Cycling under the motorway and railway you’ll come past the Amstelglorie allotments. For some Amsterdammers these allotments offer a wonderful opportunity for escaping the hectic tempo of city life. The association of allotment holders operates 29 allotment sites around Amsterdam. In addition there are also a number of privately-run sites. The sites are open to visitors on foot. As such you’re welcome to take a stroll across the site, provided you leave your bicycle at the entrance.

Resume your journey along the banks of the Amstel. After a short while you’ll spot the Utrechtsebrug (Utrecht bridge) up ahead. You cycle underneath via the cycle path that runs by the water, following the signs for centrum (city centre). The path takes you to the cyclists’ bridge over the Duivendrechtse vaart (Duivendrecht waterway). This bridge was opened in 1999 and represented the final part of the cycle route you’re biking along now.

Carry straight on across Korte Ouderkerkerdijk. When you get to Spaklerweg (the road along the railway), don’t cross but take a left down the dual carriageway cycle path and after the bridge take a sharp left turn down the cycle path that runs next to the water (Omval).

Now you’re cycling in the surrounding area of the Amstel Station, another major railway station in Amsterdam. In recent years this former industrial terrain has been developed into a densely built-up area of homes and office blocks. The tall tower to your right is the Rembrandt Tower, the tallest building in Amsterdam with a height of 135 metres. The new building under construction, the Mondriaan Tower, has recently assumed its full height of 115 metres.

The cycle path leads onto a road. Cross the road and turn left down the cycle path. Cross over at the traffic lights and keep following the route along the Amstel. That takes you to Weesperzijde.

2. The guarded bicycle parking (fietsenstalling) at the Amstel railway station

You can notice that this major cycling route is blocked to cars at two different points. As a result there are few cars on the road and a separate cycle path isn’t necessary.

Follow Weesperzijde to the end. You’ll cycle through a tunnel, which will take you onto Prof. Tulpplein. Bear to your right and follow the road straight ahead. To your left lies the famous Amstel Hotel. Next you’ll come to Sarphatistraat. Turn left and then immediately take the next right and resume the route along the banks of the Amstel. At the sluice gates you’ll see the Carré Theatre on your right. A moment later you’ll see the famous Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) ahead. Turn left to cross the Magere Brug. If you look to your right when you’re on the bridge you’ll see a huge white building, which houses Amsterdam’s city hall and music theatre.

Once you’re off the bridge turn left and then right before another bridge to head down Prinsengracht. Keep following Prinsengracht and cross over Utrechtsestraat. A little later you’ll see the Amstelveld to your right. Carry on to the traffic lights that are situated on a busy thoroughfare. Cross straight over and at the next junction after the lights turn right into Nieuwe Spiegelstraat. This wonderful street with its many art galleries and antique dealers forms part of an important cycle route. Because the street is too narrow to accommodate cycle paths, a one-way system has been introduced to cut down on the number of cars.

At the end of the street you’ll hit Herengracht. Go left, taking the cycle path that runs alongside the water. In the early 1980s this path represented one of the first improvements made to the city’s cycle network. This part of Herengracht is known as the ‘Golden Bend’.

The cycle path takes you to Koningsplein. Here you take a right turn, and a little later you’ll see the flower market to your right. In front of the shopping street you urn to the left. At Spui, follow the tramlines as they curve to the right and then take a left up the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. After about 200 metres you’ll see the Amsterdams Historisch Museum (Amsterdam Historical Museum) to your right, at number 357.

3. Amsterdams Historisch Museum

The Museum hass staged a wonderful photo exhibition in its central courtyard from June 9 to September 3 2000 to mark Velo Mondial 2000. Entitled ‘City-cycling in Amsterdam and Peking’ it has featured the work of Dutch photographers who took photos in Peking and that of Chinese photographers in Amsterdam. The exhibition has given a good picture of the contemporary street scene in the two cities. The central courtyard is best accessed via Sint Luciensteeg. You can’t take your bike in to the courtyard, but you may park it in one of the cycle racks on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. The Museum bookshop, which you can visit free of charge, has many books and a wide range of souvenirs related to Amsterdam.

The cycle tour resumes via the alley opposite that of Sint Luciensteeg. That means to the left crossing Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal (watch out for the trams!) and cycling through into Rosmarijnsteeg. Keep going straight on by following a route that takes you through Raamsteeg, then Oude Spiegelstraat and finally Wolvenstraat. At the end of Wolvenstraat turn right into Keizersgracht. Follow Keizersgracht right to the very end.

At the end of Keizersgracht, cross the bridge over Brouwersgracht and continue straight into Binnen Brouwersstraat. After about 100 metres you turn left into Haarlemmerstraat. This street is also a major cycling artery, that has recently been re-planned. The plans were the subject of much debate. You be the judge of whether the outcome was successful. Carry straight on over the bridge, which will take you onto Haarlemmerdijk. At the first junction turn right into Buiten Oranjestraat. Cross at the traffic lights.

Several years ago the number of railway lines alongside this road was increased from four to six. The old workshops under the line were subsequently converted into artists’ studios and offices, so that the surrounding area has come back to life. This urban renewal project is known as ‘Tussen de bogen’ (Between the arches).

Take the tunnel under the railway line through to Grote Bickersstraat. After about 200 metres, turn left into Kleine Bickersstraat. You simply carry on straight (via a bridge) to get to Prinseneiland. Keep going straight, over another bridge, into Sloterdijkstraat. At the end of this road, cross over and turn left into Planciusstraat. Cycle on to Haarlemmerplein. On your right you’ll see the Haarlemmerpoort, one of the old city gates of Amsterdam. Immediately after the gate, at the traffic lights, turn right.

Cross the bridge to Nassauplein. When you come to the traffic lights, cross over and keep cycling straight on, up Haarlemmerweg. To your right, on the opposite riverbank, lies Westerpark. This park forms part of the city’s green wedges (see page ...) that extends to the edge of the city centre. Beyond the traffic lights you’ll see a complex of old industrial buildings to your right. These are part of the so-called Westergasfabriek (Western gas works) site.

At the second set of traffic lights, near the bridge, you need to turn left. Watch out because the traffic flows here are chaotic. You’ll cycle past a tall block of flats into van Hallstraat. At the next crossing with bridge and lights straight away.

4. Van Hallstraat

To your right a so-called ‘environmental neighbourhood’ has been built on the site of an old industrial terrain. In building the houses here, architects paid as much attention as possible to environmental conservation. You won’t find any cars parked outside the residential buildings. Only limited parking space has been provided on the outskirts.

Beyond the environmental neighbourhood the cycle path turn into (too) narrow cycle lanes. Be careful, because this street is also a bus route. As van Hallstraat curves to the left in the direction of the bridge you turn right halfway through the bend to enter Donker Curtiusstraat. A little further on this street curves to the left to run alongside modern architecture. Now you’re cycling along Buyskade. Once an industrial terrain, this area is being redeveloped.

The neighbourhood we’re cycling through now is part of the so-called 19th century belt. In the 1970s many of the houses were crumbling and the older city neighbourhoods threatened to deteriorate into slum conditions. The plan was to demolish most of the houses and build new neighbourhoods with wider streets. But this ran into vehement opposition. In 1978 a new city council was elected which took another tack. The new approach was to renovate existing homes and build new ones on a modest scale, to reduce traffic and to encourage cycling and public transport. Large sums of money have been invested in the old neighbourhoods and slowly the policies are beginning to bear fruit. There are still neighbourhoods where the quality of life leaves much to be desired, but increasingly the older city regions are becoming attractive places to live. In the old city the bicycle is the most important mode of transport.

As you approach the end of Buyskade you’ll see to your left, on the other side of the water, an old, recently renovated sawmill called ‘the Otter’. The mill is still in use today. Cycle straight on and you’ll come to a cycle bridge with an unusual construction. At the end of the bridge take a right turn into Jan van Galenstraat. This takes you via a service road over a cyclists’ crossing into another service road. Beyond the bridge there’s a cycle path.

The cycle paths alongside Jan van Galenstraat were built in 1999. The debate on how best to plan the street raged for more than 15 years. The road is a major cycle route, a major auto route and there are shops wanting parking places. One of the key issues under discussion was whether it was feasible and acceptable to construct cycle paths here. In the end the cycle paths won out and have come to represent one of the greatest improvements in the city’s cycling network over the last 20 years. We’ll follow the Jan van Galenstraat almost to the end.

That means you keep cycling straight on. After a while you’ll pass a park on the right hand side. A little later you’ll cross a major road at the traffic lights ( Hoofdweg). About 100 metres further on, at another set of lights, cross over and turn left in order to head up Orteliuskade. You’ll see a newly constructed cycle path opposite.

5. Jan van Galenbad

After about 300 metres turn right (following the route signposted for cyclists) and then after just 30 metres turn left, into Rembrandtpark. Rembrandtpark is a green buffer zone between the neighbourhoods built in the early decades of the 1900s and those that marked the expansion of the city after the Second World War.

You’ll pass through a tunnel. After 500 metres you’ll cross a bridge and not long after, before the next bridge, you should turn right onto a cycle path.

Should you want to follow a shorter route to Vondelpark from this point, then don’t turn right but head straight on. This will take you out of Rembrandtpark. Towards the end the cycle path curves to the right. You’ll come to a crossing. Here you follow the signs to the city centre, so you turn left and left again after the bridge. The cycle path makes a twist, you carry straight on and end up in Vondelpark.

Cycle straight on between the blocks of flats, cross over a road (take care), go through a tunnel and carry on into Piet Mondriaanstraat. At the next junction you take a left onto the cycle path in Derkinderenstraat. At the next junction by the roundabout, you take a right turn into the Postjesweg. Follow Postjesweg. this will take you to another roundabout, which you cross straight over to go under the railway line into Robert Fruinlaan. To your right you’ll see a newly-constructed estate. At the end of the avenue you cross at the traffic lights and head straight on, onto the cycle path that starts to your left. This is Christoffel Plantijnpad, which we’ll follow for some time.

After about a kilometre you’ll take a tunnel under the motorway, after which you’ll cross a major thoroughfare, Pieter Calandlaan.

6. Christoffel Plantijnpad

After that you carry on down Christoffel Plantijnpad. After crossing a big road, you’ll see hospital grounds with medical facilities to your left. About 300 metres further on there’s a striking cycle bridge to the right. Take a right turn and cross the bridge.

In the old days this area used to be market garden. In the 1990s this neighbourhood, known as Nieuw Sloten was built. Town planners sought to give the neighbourhood its own distinctive character with a range of architectural styles. Local authorities in Amsterdam are currently in discussion with town and city planners on the way in which cycling facilities should be integrated into the various neighbourhoods. In Nieuw Sloten the planners opted for several separate, centrally located cycle routes offering cyclists easy and rapid links to the whole neighbourhood.

You’re on Maaseikpad. You need to watch out at the junctions, for you don’t have right of way. After you’ve crossed a canal (Arendonksingel) you’ll come to a small square which you cycle around. Carry on straight between the houses (Hamontstraat) and you’ll come to a little park. Immediately after you’ve passed the houses you should turn left onto another of the cycling arteries. At the end of the park you’ll cross a tram line (watch out). Carry straight on to get to Belgieplein, the local shopping centre.

From there you cycle straight on until the motorway. There you take a right turn, and a little further on, at the traffic lights, turn left. On the other side you take the service road leading off to your right, Henegouwenstraat and cycle straight on. After about 150 metres you turn right onto the cycle path, the Tervurenpad. This is another of the central cycling routes through Nieuw Sloten. On this route you have right of way.

After the Tramway turn to the right and take the cycle track along the Antwerpenbaan (this is where the tram line terminates). Go left. A striking cycle bridge takes you out of the neighbourhood. Go left up Vrije Geer. Vrije Geer curves to the right. At the next junction you turn left onto Osdorperweg. You’ll come out on Sloterweg, after which you should turn left. This takes you to the old village of Sloten.

Thanks to the efforts of the villagers great attention has been paid to preserving the village as it used to look. At number 1259 Sloterweg is the village square, complete with old water pump that still works. In 1911 the villagers still used it for their drinking water. The square also boasts the smallest police station in the country.

Keep cycling straight on, out of the village. To your left you’ll see Nieuw Sloten. About 500 metres further on, alongside the parking area, you’ll see a sports complex to your right and the Sloten cycling circuit.

This will take you to a roundabout. Pay attention, for you mustn’t cross here, but take the service road to your right. Your best bet is to access it via the footpath.

Subsequently you follow Anderlechtlaan. Take care at the motorway exits, for you’re cycling under the motorway. Where the road curves to the left you follow the cycle route signs to the ferry for Amsterdamse Bos (Amsterdam forrest). In order to do so you need to cross over, take a left and subsequently a right over a bridge. You’ll come to a T-junction, where you’ll see the Nieuwe Meer straight ahead. You’re now in De Oeverlanden, a recreational area.

For years De Oeverlanden was a wonderfully wild natural habitat, an oasis of rest for those few people who knew how to get there. When Nieuw Sloten was built some people wished to cultivate the area. Nature lovers countered by questioning whether it was desirable to cultivate all the land around the city. Why could some areas not simply be left untouched. Ultimately there was a compromise. Part of the area is currently being landscaped, while the rest has been left. In the interim a cycle path has been laid on.

Turn left at the T-junction. Keep to the cycle path following the bank of the Nieuwe Meer on your right. Once again you’re into Amsterdam’s green wedge (see page...). After a while you’ll come to a T-junction. Here you turn right (to your right you’ll see a small yachting harbour). Alongside the water the cycle path curves off to the left. Keep following the cycle path, which after a time runs alongside a road. You cycle under the motorway and the railway, past some sluices and a little later over a bridge. Now you are cycling along Jaagpad.

Fowwowing the Cycle Track you enters the Spijtellaantje. At the end of this road turn right into Rijnsburgstraat. About 100 metres further on you’ll see a beautiful, rather inconspicuous graveyard to the right.

Follow Rijnsburgstraat as it turns into Sloterkade. Now you’re cycling along the river Schinkel, a major shipping route that runs right through the heart of Amsterdam. Traffic flows on the roads that cross the Schinkel are hampered by the many bridges that need to be opened to enable ships to pass. The first bridge you pass is the newly renovated Zeilbrug near Hoofddorpweg.

Carry straight on and keep following Sloterkade. You’ll come to a cycle bridge that was built in 1976 to mark the 700th anniversary of the founding of Amsterdam. Turn right over the bridge and carry on straight until you get to Vondelpark.

If you didn’t start in the Vondelpark, then you need to turn right out of the park at the first exit. You can follow the rest of the route outlined above at the beginning.

Amsterdam’s Department of Infrastructure, Traffic and Transportation

Amsterdam has a lot of traffic. Whether we go by bike, train, bus, metro or car, we travel en masse to work, to home, into town, out of town. We consider freedom of movement one of our fundamental rights. We encounter the downside of this on a daily basis: congestion, traffic jams, parking problems in the city and a lack of safety on the roads. Ever greater problems which demand decisive solutions.

In such a small and densely populated area, all types of commuters need space. Consequently the Amsterdam City Council is constantly required to achieve a balance in the conflicting needs for mobility in and around Amsterdam. Maintaining the quality of life in the city is always the point of departure. The Department of Infrastructure, Traffic and Transportation (dIVV) advises the council on these matters and has the necessary expertise in-house to develop traffic plans and to execute the subsequent projects.

The cycle policy

Within the existing Principal Cycle Route Network plan, the dIVV has developed a Core Cycle Network plan. This is a network of recognisable, fast and safe cycle paths that begin in various parts of the outlying region and lead into Amsterdam. The aim is to stimulate commuting between home and work by bike. Within the city itself the network links the various city districts with one another.

In addition we also provide advice on the development of guarded an unguarded bike parks, and conduct research into cycle use among non-native Dutch residents. We also support the witfiets (white bike) project, whereby bicycles are made available for short trips through the city free of charge.

For more information please contact the communications department of the dIVV on 020-5565117. Or visit our website, where, in addition to bicycles, you will be able to read about new public transport connections and parking in Amsterdam: www.ivv.amsterdam.nl/fiets

Cyclists’ Union Silver Jubilee

In 2000 the Fietsersbond (Cyclists’ Union) has celebrated its 25th year. From a group of cyclists who sought to develop an environmentally friendly traffic system on ideological grounds, the Union has grown into an organisation representing the interests of all cyclists in the Netherlands. Now the Fietsersbond is an essential advisory body to government and other organisations – at a national level, as well as in more than 130 local councils.

The Fietsersbond has an Amsterdam branch. The Amsterdam branch works assiduously with the Amsterdam city council and the borough councils to create space for the bicycle in specific traffic situations. The branch employs two policy specialists who are involved in technical traffic work and are subsidised by the Amsterdam city council. Besides the professionals many voluntairs are active in the branch.
