Amsterdam-Best train option
Hi,
We (4 adults) would be in Amsterdam for 2 full days before heading to southern Europe. We would be staying in Gouda, but would be travelling to Leiden, Lisse, and of course many major Amsterdam attractions. Is there an inexpesive way to buy bulk tickets (train pass) that is good for train/ tram/ bus travel in Amsterdam surrounds.
Thanks

Since you haven't gotten any answers:
I'm not sure what you're asking exactly. There is info about public transportation WITHIN Amsterdam under DESTINATIONS above. Or are you looking for something else?

There are various rail and bus passes covering the Netherlands or the Amsterdam area. Try www.ns.nl and www.gvb.nl.

PG,
There are a couple of possibilities to get cheaper traintickets, but most possibilities are tied to a single person. The only thing that _may_ save you (a little) money is "zomertour" or "zomertour plus" (the latter includes bus, tram and metro). For more information (it's too much to explain in detail here), visit <a href="http://www.ns.nl/domestic/domestic.c...>www.ns.nl</a> (I hope the hyperlink works, if not, just copy and paste the text "http
quot; up to and including the word "Types" in the address field of your browser).
