TRAM IN AMSTERDAM
The 17 tram lines of central Amsterdam are the primary means of getting around this city's "downtown" area. The Centraal Station is the terminal point for 11 of the 17 tram lines (and 3 of the 4 Metro/Sneltram lines). The station serves trams feeding into it from two thoroughfares: Damrak and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. The system is operated with the Damrak lines (4, 9, 16, 24, 25) terminating in a four track terminal area on the east side of the Stationsplein, and the N.Z. Voorburgwal lines (1, 2, 5, 6, 13, 17) terminating in a four track terminal area on the west side. Departing Centraal Station, the lines serving Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal depart and cross the canal on the Damrak bridge, and then turn to the right along Prins Hendrikkade, and then left on a small private right-of-way onto N.Z. Voorburgwal. Damrak lines simply head directly out onto Damrak.
