I Amsterdam City Card Pass
The museum-admissions card and public transport pass of Amsterdam
The I Amsterdam Card City Pass costs around $69 for two days, $83 for three days. The I Amsterdam Card City Pass costs €39 for 24 hours, €49 for 48 hours, or €59 for 72 hours.
It covers most major sights, public transportation, and a canal cruise (in addition to a few other discounts and freebies).
You can buy it at the Tourist Offices of the Amsterdam Tourism & Convention Board (ATCB) located at Stationsplein 10 and at Schiphol airport, or from our partners at Viator.com.
Is the I Amsterdam Card City Pass worth it?
Let's break it down.
Purchased separately, tickets to the Rijksmuseum cost €12.50, to the Van Gogh Museum €14. Add a 24-hour tram/bus pass for €7, and a canal cruise is €13. That adds up to a pretty excellent day in Amsterdam—and a whopping €46.50, which is less than the cost of even the 48-hour I Amsterdam Card City Pass.
So, yeah: it's worth it—especially as, in addition to money, it saves you precious vacation time—no more standing in all those museum ticketing lines, or wasting time buying tickets on board trams and buses.
