Most international bus services are affiliated to Euro lines, which has a terminal at Amstel Station (train station, metro station 51, 53, 54, tram 12). One bus per day is usually the maximum frequency on these routes.
The British low-budget bus company Mega bus operates bus services twice-daily from both London and Paris to Amsterdam via Brussels, terminating at the Zee burg Park and Ride Coach Park/Zuiderzeeweg tram stop in the east of the city.

From The Hague, the A4 leads to Amsterdam. All motorways to Amsterdam connect to the ring motorway, the A10. From this motorway, main roads lead radically into Amsterdam (the roads S101 through S118).
In most cases, you should want to avoid going to the city centre by car: traffic is dense and parking spaces are expensive and nearly impossible to find. Instead, when on the A10, follow the signs to one of the P+R-spots (P+R Zee burg to the east, P+R ArenA to the southeast, P+R Olympisch Station to the south, and P+R Sloterdijk to the west). Here you can park your car and take public transport to the city centre, for a single fare. There is
