This celebration boasts Europes biggest leather, rubber and fetish party. Most people visiting Amsterdam prefer to do their sightseeing by foot or by bicycle. As pretty much everything is within walking distance, walking is a feasible option. Bicycles will be seen almost everywhere you go. They are available for rent in several locations, including the rail station.
Bicycle lanes are separate from traffic lanes, and are clearly marked as such.
Remember that these lanes are not for walking, and bikers can be somewhat uncourteous to those that choose to use them as such. Be sure to bring raingear, as it can be very cold and wet throughout the year. Those that want to see the rest of the Netherlands may want to purchase a Holland Rail Pass. It is probably the most economic and simple way to see the country. The scenery from the train is fantastic, with views of flowers, windmills and coast.
