How to use the pass
Review purchase, activation, and important usage details for I amsterdam City Card before you visit.

01

How it works

Choose the duration that matches your plans and activate the card only when you are ready to begin using it. Scan the digital or physical card at each participating museum or attraction and show it when claiming the included transport and visitor benefits. A listed attraction can normally be visited once during the active period. Where a venue uses timed admission, the City Card does not replace the separate reservation: book the required free time slot and bring both the reservation and an active card.

02

Purchase and activation

Buy a digital card for use in the official I amsterdam City Card app or select a physical card when that format is available. A digital card is assigned and activated in the app, while a physical card is activated through use. Do not activate a digital card simply to inspect it, because its purchased validity period begins once activation is confirmed.

Important information

The Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum are not included. GVB transport covers Amsterdam buses, trams, metros and ferries operated by GVB; trains, regional transport and airport transfers are outside that benefit. Participation and reservation rules can change, and several high-demand venues allocate limited City Card time slots. Build the itinerary around any required bookings before activating a short-duration card.
