Behind central station you’ll find ferries that connects the North of Amsterdam to the city. For bikes, scooters and pedestrians it’s the only way to get from North to the rest of the city. Therefore they are FREE to use. The only rules: walk with bikes and scooters on the hand while boarding and stepping off, with the scooters engine turned off.
This ferry is key to some touristic places such as Zaanse Schans or Volendam but also startpoint for some idylic bike routes through a few small villages such as Ilpendam, Durgendam or Broek in Waterland.
