GVB trams, metro and buses are paid for with a contactless card when you get on and off; the ferries that cross the IJ behind Central Station are free.

Within the city, the tram is the most practical: the 2, 5 and 24 take you from Central Station to the Museumplein in about twenty minutes. Pay with a contactless card or phone when you get on and off, always with the same one. Behind the station, on the bank of the IJ, leave the free ferries to Amsterdam-Noord (A'DAM Lookout, NDSM): they are for pedestrians and bikes and run all day.
