Tips for using the I amsterdam Card
- The Van Gogh Museum requires a time slot reservation even with the I amsterdam Card, make sure you book it ahead on this page. This is why if you book the I amsterdam Card online on Headout, you can pre-book the slot at the museum, and you won’t miss out on visiting it.
- You need to be careful with your I amsterdam Card as it cannot be replaced once it is lost. Treat it like you would treat a credit card and keep it in your wallet at all times.
- The I amsterdam Card is counted in hours; hence you can activate once you have settled down in your hotel and use it when you get out for sightseeing. This way you can maximize your time available on the city card.
- Most of the museums in Amsterdam are open from 10 AM to 5 PM irrespective of the season, unlike in other cities like Rome or Paris. Hence, ensure you include all the free tours and activities like Canal Cruise after the museums are closed for the day.
- If you are only on a 24 hour or 48 hour card, you can maximize your time by visiting the Van Gogh Museum or Hermitage Amsterdam Museum with an hour remaining in your card slot. For instance, if your card ends at 12 PM, you can enter at 11 AM and spend 3-4 hours exploring the museums. The rest of the time on the previous day can be spent visiting museums and attractions that need lesser time; you can cover a lot more this way!
- The I amsterdam Card does not include entrance to the Anne Frank House, so be sure you book that online and in advance.
