Tram line 19 goes from Sloterdijk via Leidseplein, Weesperplein to Diemen. It is a 30 minute ride from Leidseplein. If you are coming from the Central Station the best way is to take the metro  51  53  54  to Weesperplein and from there on take the tram to Diemen, as there is no longer a direct tram line from Central station to Diemen.

Diemen also has two train stations: Diemen and Diemen Zuid. You can take the  SPR  from Amersfoort to 🌍 Station Diemen.

As Amsterdam is the bike capital of the world, the best way to explore Amsterdam and its suburbs is by bike. It is approximately 7 km to Diemen from Dam square. That might be a long ride but you also see parts of the Plantage and Oost neighbourhoods.
