About
The commuter ferry Amsterdammers actually use, departing constantly from directly behind Centraal Station and crossing the IJ in a few minutes flat. Pedestrians and bikes both ride free, no ticket, no booking, just walk on with the crowd getting off work. The skyline view back towards the station on the return crossing is one of the better free views in the city, and it is the same boat that gets you to EYE Filmmuseum and the NDSM wharf.
