Parking is 8 euros per 24 hours, which is great for parking in Amsterdam. The issue is that they only allot so many spaces for this discounted parking. We waited about half an hour and were still three cars back when we decided we'd rather pay 22 euros a day for street parking in front of our hotel. Who knows when the next 4 cars would leave allowing us to park. In 90 degree heat, I'll take convenience over price.
If you do decide to wait, they apparently give you tickets for the bus/tram/train to get you to your destination in the centrum.
Sounds like a great concept when the lot isn't full. We didn't get so lucky this time. read more
