Is biking in Amsterdam safe for tourists?

Amsterdam has a large cycling community, so visitors should stay in designated bike lanes, follow traffic signals, watch for pedestrians and be particularly careful around trams and intersections.

If you’re nervous about biking in Amsterdam for the first time, a guided tour with a local guide can be an easy way to get comfortable with the city before exploring independently.

Can I bike through Amsterdam's city center?

Should I rent a regular bike or an eBike in Amsterdam?
