Amsterdam may not be the most expensive tourist destination in Europe but it stands not so far behind the likes of London and Paris. If you are on this page, then you must be one of those people that make all the necessary preparations in advance to ensure that all aspects of a trip have been taken into consideration.

Like any other major capital or city, Amsterdam has its own City Card. If you are unfamiliar with this particular type of product, it usually grants access to all the major landmarks, museums, and tourist attractions, in addition to other perks for a fixed price that goes way below the money you would have to pay if you visited each place without a card.

The I Amsterdam City Card in particular costs €65 for 24-hours. What it includes will be discussed below. Before we get to that, however, we have to announce that soon, the I Amsterdam City Card will be available for purchase through us at a significantly discounted price – €65,-

Since the very, beginning, our mission has been to make the tourist life in Amsterdam as affordable and memorable as possible. Now, the discounted I Amsterdam City Card will become the latest addition to our many services. If €15 does not sound like much, think about it as an extra meal that you can later consume or a couple of lovely cocktails at one of the great clubs at night.

When you take that the Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket which gives you free access to the majority of the best clubs and venues for two days costs just €10.

We will also discuss the GVB day ticket which is the cheapest alternative if all you need is public transport but you can read about this at the end of this article.

As already mentioned, the city card gives you the opportunity to visit over 70 of the most significant museums and attractions in Amsterdam. Having that the regular entry fees go somewhere between €5 and €20 and as a tourist, you would normally visit many more than just two or three locations, you can understand the opportunities of purchasing the ticket for €65,-

To mention all museums and attractions would take a while, therefore, we have selected three of the most significant museums in Amsterdam and following them, a couple of the most unusual ones out of the hundreds of museums. You may not know this but no other city in the world has such an abundance of weird and untraditional locations which is another reason why Amsterdam is so popular among people of all ages.

RIJKSMUSEUM

Rijksmuseum, otherwise known as the National Museum, is a real-life treasure house that has one of the largest art collections in the world. It is a mandatory place to visit for any tourist interested in Dutch and European history.

Undoubtedly, you have heard and seen the incredible “Night Watch” painting by Rembrandt. It is the focal point of the museum but there are thousands of other incredible pieces that you can now see for free with the city card.

It is good to know that Rijksmuseum was only included in the I Amsterdam City Card in 2018. Before that, you would have had to pay to enter.

The I Amsterdam City Card is an absolutely amazing opportunity but you may also choose to simply get a public transport all-day ticket instead. And this is exactly what GVB stands for. With a regular price of €8, it allows you to use all types of transport operated by GVB for 24 hours. These transports, of course, include the metro, bus, and tram.

From now on, you will be able to get the GVB Day Ticket for €8. It would be useful to know that the GVB day ticket is definitely the most useful public transport ticket you can purchase as it includes the night buses. You are probably unfamiliar with this but regular public transport works between 06:00 and 00:30 and in the hours in between, there is a night shift which is operated by GVB.

Therefore, without this ticket, you would still have to pay a regular fee for using public transport at night which definitely stands far from being cheap. Furthermore, are you sure you want to walk on foot after a wild night at the clubs?

We are sure that you now understand that Amsterdam may be one of the most expensive capitals in Europe but there are simple ways to make your stay significantly more affordable no matter if it is one day or a whole week.

The best way to experience Amsterdam to the fullest is to catch all the unique museums, art galleries, and tourist attractions during the day, and dive into the unimaginable nightlife when it becomes dark.

All of this becomes possible in the cheapest way with two simple purchases – the I Amsterdam City Card at for €65,- and the Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket that gives you free access to the best party locations in town for two entire days for only €10.

Spend the day learning and enriching yourself with knowledge about culture and history, and then lose yourself in the crazy parties in some of the most popular clubs in Amsterdam and the Netherlands such as Paradiso, Club Panama, The Box, and many others.

The Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket gives you the opportunity to experience the wild nightlife of Amsterdam without depriving yourself of trying different locations that have large entrance fees but it also comes with a bunch of other extras and discounts at city locations during the day.
