Tips on how to use the I Amsterdam Card

The I Amsterdam Card comes with two passes: one car for public transport and one card for attractions. Both passes start counting down the amount of hours the moment you first use them.

•   Walk to the museums, the city center is small enough.

•   Get into the first museum after 10 am. That way, you still go to a museum the next morning as the card is valid for 24 hours.

•   Visit the Van Gogh Museum on Friday evening.

•   Use the Canal Cruise in the evening, when the museums are closed or in the early afternoon, when the museums are busiest.

•   Start using your Public Transport Card when you want to visit a neighbourhood or museum outside the city centre. For ideas check Amsterdam neighbourhoods and A week in Amsterdam.

The I Amsterdam Card is the best choice if:

•   You buy a card for longer than 24 hours (2 – 4 days)
•   You plan to visit only Amsterdam and not its surroundings
•   Your hotel/accommodation is located outside the city center and you plan to use public transport a lot
•   You want to see at least three museums every day
