Question: How Do I Get a Taxi in Amsterdam?
While hosting a native New Yorker on her first visit to Amsterdam, I had to explain that she couldn't just hail a taxi on any street in the city. So how do you hire a taxi in Amsterdam?
Answer: Go to one of the many designated areas where taxis form a line. These are located in strategic places throughout the city, most near the popular tourist areas and attractions like Dam Square, Leidseplein and Nieuwmarkt. See this handy map of taxi line locations from the city office.
Restaurant and hotel employees should be more than happy to call you a taxi if you need one.
