About

About Amsterdam, IJplein

Exactly 160 sailings a week in each direction, with not one boat of difference between them. The IJplein ferry is the second-busiest GVB crossing on the IJ, behind only the Buiksloterweg service that runs almost 400 times a week from the pontoon next door.

The crossing covers 0.3 nautical miles in 4 minutes and is free, like all the IJ ferries — no ticket, no barrier, walk on with a bicycle. Boats leave from 06:26 in the morning until 23:50 at night, and arrivals run to 23:56.

IJplein is on the northern bank in Amsterdam-Noord, at the foot of the 1980s housing block that gives the landing its name, and lands passengers at the eastern side of Centraal Station rather than the main ferry terminal. Three day patterns cover the week — a daily calendar with weekday and Monday-to-Saturday overlays on top.
