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.
