city card that is really worth it, we bought the one valid for 3 days and booked in advance 10 activities all done and certainly used the tram, metro and bus a lot since we were staying at Park In, Sloterdjik station from where there is the direct metro M51 and the bus Nr.22 to the central station from where you can walk everywhere or get on the very present trams. the only disappointment: we were not able to book with the card the Madame Tussaud Museum and Heineken Experience even though we tried 5/6 times on different days, different times and with different credit cards, in the end we had to buy full price tickets. to go to Zaanse Schans I recommend buying the organized tour that is cheap, but be careful to arrive at least 10/15 minutes to the meeting point, otherwise you risk missing the bus, as happened to us

We appreciated the timely arrival and professionalism shown by Mohamad during our tour. He was knowledgeable about each of the areas we toured. He was great to have conversation with on many topics. We asked a lot of questions and enjoyed understanding about life in the Netherlands and about Mohamad as well. We enjoyed visiting the windmills in Zaandam and enjoyed a fresh warm chocolate covered waffle. We also enjoyed walking through the village of Volendam and ate the best fish. We had a lovely day exploring. Thanks for a lovely day!

Only in Amsterdam for a few days but managed to easily use lots of public transport and visited multiple museums in the Museumplein area all within a short walk of each other. Also visited attractions that I might not have otherwise as they were free with the card, and so glad I did!!

Very good idea that allows you to visit several museums and take any means of transport without thinking and which, ultimately, saves you euros (which you can use to buy souvenirs or drinks! 😉)

The city card was really good. Especially with the public transport. Highly recommend if its your first time visiting.
