There are trains, trams (12,51) and metros to Amstel station from most other stations in Amsterdam. It is a 1 minute walk from there, just behind the FORTIS Bank.

HEY YOU! Are you planning on a trip East, Germany or even Scandinavia? Hitch hiking from the famous LIFTPLAATS is sweet, but there is often a lot of competition and drivers usually only go short distances, so by the time you have finally left Holland you will have had approx 3-6 rides. You can easily avoid this by taking a train to HENGELO, (save money? buy a discount ticket (40 percent off) most people traveling by train in Holland have a discount card, especially students. Law allows people with such a card to have 2-3 people traveling with them on discount, ask them if they have one and you can travel with them ON THE TRAIN!) Follow these instructions. From the trainstation 'Hengelo' take BUS 14 to BRUNINKSHOEK. Get out there. You now find yourself on 'Oostelijke Esweg', walk in the direction the bus just came towards 'Hasselerbaan'. Take a left. Walk down untill you cross 'Oldenzaalsestraat'. Turn left and you will see a foodbridge, overlooking the A1. When you have crossed the bridge, dont turn right but walk through the grass and descend down and before the ditch turn left and walk with the ditch on your right hand. Continue until you see a little forest. Here you have to jump over a small ditch (sounds hard but it is very easy, winter it is almost dried out, in summer there is only a little stream there) Now you are almost a the service station. Walk thru the little forest and there it is. This service station is more than excellent because from here literally almost all cars go to Germany. The service station is usually crowded with cars too, which is awesome. I have used this service station with friends over 10 times and it works fucking P-E-R-F-E-C-T. Embark on an epic trip EAST or SCANDINAVIA? Use THIS gasstation!
