Best investment while visiting Amsterdam. I discovered so many placed I would not have known about if it wasn't for the card. And the money is so worth it when booked for multiple days. I took the 5 day card and it was way cheaper than paying separately for attractions and public transport.

Great value for money as it was so easy to travel on the teams and the bus. The many attractions were fantastic as well! Took the 3 day card and even when we decided to do a last minute visit to the Maritime Museum, it was easy too!

Tranquility in mobility within the city and ease of displacement. But you need to book your tickets beforehand!

An amazing card that give you an amazing experience all around the city, reasonable price ❤️

very practical and good value for money as long as you make enough visits on the card
