I amsterdam City Card 2022 – Your key to the City
The I amsterdam City Card is a pre-paid pass and discount card. Visit first-class museums, take a cruise over the fascinating canals and visit the best attractions. All for free or with a significant discount! It also gives you free access to use the public transport system in Amsterdam (GVB). The I amsterdam City Card 2021 is valid for 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours or 120 hours. A detailed city map of Amsterdam is included.
Free Access to top Amsterdam Museums
With the I amsterdam City Card you have free entrance to 70+ of Amsterdam’s top museums & some of the attractions; Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam Lookout, Artis Zoo, Amsterdam Diamond Museum, Hermitage, Foam, Nemo Science Museum and many more. More detailed information about the museums and attractions included in the I amsterdam City Card, check the article about the Amsterdam Discount Cards and Tourist Passes
Discounted Admission to Attractions
Explore the Canal Belt; a free canal cruise is included in the I amsterdam City card. The pass also gives you free access to the Artis Royal Zoo. On other attractions in Amsterdam you will receive a 25% discount on the admission fee. If you are planning to visit both museums and attractions perhaps the Amsterdam Holland Pass is a better (and cheaper) way to explore the Amsterdam Highlights.
Public Transport
The card includes a pass for unlimited use of Amsterdam’s GVB public transport system. For the duration of 24, 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours you can use trams, busses and metros. Please note: The pass is not valid on trains (NS – Dutch Railways) or on busses operated by Connexxion, EBS and RET.
Daytrips to Haarlem and the Zaanse Schans
The I amsterdam City Card offers free entry to 2 museums in Haarlem, 9 attractions in the ‘Zaanse Schans’ and 4 attractions in the small vilages Enkhuizen, Volendam & Marken.
Haarlem is a nearby town with beautiful historical churches, a cathedral, interesting museums and the famous Haarlem’s ‘hofjes’ (courtyards).
Some think that the ‘Zaanse Schans’ is an open-air museum with the traditional Dutch houses, wooden shoe workshops, cheese farm, windmills and more. But it still is a town actually.
Enkhuizen, Volendam & Marken are small and old old fisherman’s villages with lively harbours, terraces, cosy eateries and Dutch herring carts. And with a bit of luck you’ll bump into a resident wearing the traditional costume.
Prices 2022
- 24 hours: € 65,00
- 48 hours: € 90,00
- 72 hours: € 110,00
- 96 hours: € 125,00

The I Amsterdam City Card 2022 will be activated automatically the first time you use it and remains valid for 24, 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours.
I Amsterdam City Card for children
Maybe against all expectations, but Amsterdam is a real family-friendly city. No doubts to visit Amsterdam with kids. Many museums already offer free entrance or special discounts for children. The City Card would provide significant savings for children aged 10 or older.

Hi, is there a price difference as to buying the I Amsterdam card online vs buying it in Amsterdam at the Tourist shop offices? especially the one in Schiphol Airport?
Can the city card be
used in Amsterdam to visit Haarlem?
Correction….can the city card purchased in Amsterdam be used to visit Haarlem?
What is the difference between the “72 Must see card” and the standard “72 card”?
I bought a Iamsterdam Card in May 2018 but I never used it or activated. I notice the 2019 card if not used is good until 2020. I have emailed Iamstedam 3 times and have gotten no reply. I am going back to Amsterdam in October 2019 for a couple days and would like to know if the 2018 card is still valid. Thanks.

Please can you advise me.

My family will be spending 3 days in Amsterdam before leaving on a cruise. There are 5 of us, including a 2-1/2 year old toddler. We hope to use the canals to get around town and definitely will visit the VanGogh & the Rijksmuseum and want to visit the parks. Which pass would be best for us? Also, do we need to purchase a pass for the toddler?

Hello Sir/Madame.
Me and my wife will travel at Amsterdam from 10 to 12/4. We’re considering about the Amsterdam city card. I have one question about it. Is it possible to use City card to take the bus from Amsterdam city to Keukenhof garden bus station?? Or we have to buy seperate bus ticket to reach there.
Thanks.

Me and my boyfriend are coming to Amsterdam on the 31st of may, we plan on visiting the van Gogh museum, the Heineken experience, the sex museum and Anne frank, what is the best pass to purchase?
I think the Amsterdam Holland Pass is the best >> https://www.amsterdamtourist.info/tips/amsterdamdiscount-cards/amsterdam-holland-pass/
Please note that you always have to buy a ticket for the Anne Frank Museum
Kind Regards, Jan
Hello. My girlfriend and I are coming in Amsterdam during Easter Weekend (arrival Thursday 13.04 before noon, departure on Sunday end of the afternoon). We would like to visit Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Allard Pierson Museum, Sexmuseum, Heineken Experience, Rembrandthuis and Anne Frank Huis. With perhaps canal tour and some churches (Oude Kerk). With free transport tickets and discount on bars and restaurants. What would be the better choice for a discount card. And with the discount card, is it possible to already book tickets on Internet I order to spare time or do we have just to use the fast entrance lane at the museum? Thanks for your answer.
Dear Sébastien,
Thx for contacting us! The Amsterdam Holland Pass LARGE (total 6 tickets) http://www.amsterdamtourist.info/tips/amsterdamdiscount-cards/amsterdam-holland-pass/ would be the best solution. For Anne Frank Huse you always have to buy a separate ticket. You can’t buy discount tickets online with an discount card; you have to use the fast entrance lane.
Hello. Myself and my husband are due to visit amsterdam on other March for 4 nights. We want to visit the Anne Frank house, a few museums, the ice bar, ajax stadium and have public transport for the duration. We will be staying at the golden tulip amsterdam west so have been informed public transport is a must. We fly home early on the monday so won’t be planning anything for that day. What option would you say is the better one financially for these? I realise Anne Frank’s house will cost regardless amd we also plan on going on a canal cruise.
Many thanks
Nicola

Can we buy a Amsterdam city card in the New West Inn Hotel or where is the nearest station or tourist office where we can buy it?
Thanks for information!
Dear Peter,
I don’t know if they sell the I amsterdam city card at the hotel. Some hotels do, but most of them don’t…
If you are coming to Amsterdam by plane or train, the best thing to do is to buy the I Amsterdam city card online and exchange the voucher for your I Amsterdam City Card at:
• the Visitor Information Centre, Amsterdam Central Station, Stationsplein 10.
• the Visitor Information Centre at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Arrivals 2)
You can buy the I Amsterdam city card with this link: http://www.amsterdamtourist.info/go/iamsterdamcitycard/
Enjoy your stay and visit in Amsterdam!
Kind Regards,
