Ukuhamba-hamba
if you're comfortable: bike
the best way to get around is to ride a bike. The closest place you can rent them is black bike Amsterdam east
they have multiple locations and you can hand back your bike at any of them.
if youre walking: watch out for bikers and bikelanes. these are NOT for standing on and looking at buildings ;)
