From Oostzaan to Center of Amsterdam.

Answer 2

Depending on where in Amsterdam it will take more or less time.

There are good bike routes between both places, Oostzaan is almost build against Amsterdam Noord, the part of Amsterdam north of the water.

There are special bike and foot ferries and also ferries for cars as well, to cross that water into central Amsterdam.

If you are there, the easiest thing it to follow the white with red text direction notices.

They also have a little bike on them.

But also get a local town map, for Amsterdam and for the area just north of it.

Many people living in Oostzaan do not think anything about biking to Amsterdam, it is what they do for their weekly shoppings or to go for a night of drinking, or for work.

If you have to be at the far end of Amsterdam it is a bit farther but still within reason.

But for work on the far end most people will use their bike to a place with good public transport and use that from there.

If you have a look at a good map, google maps in the right amount of zoom will do, you can see the lay of the land and how close the places are to each other.
