A tram journey in a popular European city has been ranked one of the best in the world, and it is less than two hours away from the UK. Whilst Amsterdam is more notable for its many canals and bicycles , the Dutch capital has a thorough network of trams , with Line #2 recently being called one of the best journeys of its kind. Silvia Causin from the accessible tour company AmsterdaMobile , highlighted that the journey gives visitors easy access to a wide range of attractions the city has to offer.
She explained: "Amsterdam has 14 tram lines and among these there is a special one, Line #2. It has in fact been defined by National Geographic in 'Journeys of a Lifetime' as one of the most beautiful in the world. "Why did the famous magazine put this line in its world top 10? Because it takes travellers to many of the major tourist attractions in the city of Amsterdam.
" Starting at Amsterdam Central Station, Line #2 begins by taking tourists to the historic centre of Dam, where they are able to visit the Royal Palace, National Monument, and the New Church. The tram then goes on to Leidseplein, a vibrant square offering plenty of restaurants and nightclubs, and Museumplein, where visitors can learn about Van Gogh or listen to the orchestra at the Concertgebouw. From there, tourists who are looking to bag some souvenirs can stretch their legs in Cornelis Schuystraat, home to a wide range of boutique and designer stores, before the tram terminates in Valeriusplein, a residential area.
