FAQ

Common questions about Amsterdam passes

Which pass fits your stay, what is included and how long it stays valid. The short answers are here.

Which city passes are available for Amsterdam?+

Amsterdam has passes from two providers plus a digital combination ticket. The official I amsterdam City Card comes as Total Experience and as Explorer. Go City sells an Essentials, an Explorer and an All-Inclusive Pass. The Amsterdam Digital Pass bundles the Van Gogh Museum with a canal cruise.

Is public transport included in an Amsterdam pass?+

Included in full only in the I amsterdam City Card Total Experience. It covers the GVB network: trams, buses, metro and ferries. The Explorer variant of the same card leaves it out, and so does every Go City pass. In the Amsterdam Digital Pass a 24-hour ticket is one of the options.

Is the Van Gogh Museum part of the passes?+

Not in the I amsterdam City Card. If the Van Gogh Museum is your reason for coming, look at the Amsterdam Digital Pass: it books the museum with a fixed time slot and adds a canal cruise. Slots there are pre-booked, so you do not queue for a ticket on the day.

How long is an Amsterdam pass valid?+

The I amsterdam City Card runs for 24, 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours from first use. The Go City All-Inclusive Pass covers 1, 2, 3 or 5 consecutive calendar days. The Explorer Pass works differently: you pick a number of attractions and have 60 days from first use to redeem them.

Which Amsterdam pass suits your trip?+

It depends on your programme. If you want a lot of museums and short hops across the city, the official card pays off, because transport is part of it. If you have a handful of larger attractions in mind, an attraction-based pass keeps the cost down. The current prices are in the pass cards above.
