Everything worked out perfectly with the pass; we used all forms of public transportation (metro, tram, bus, ferry). Simple and hassle-free. The only slightly annoying part was having to scan the QR code from our cell phones when boarding the tram or bus. We had a 4-day pass, but we still had to check in and out repeatedly. Sometimes the QR code reader on public transit didn’t work properly, so there were a few times when we couldn’t check out when getting off.

It’s supposed to be simple, after all. But since we were charged twice on our credit card for our 48-hour pass, we didn’t think that was right. The system is actually supposed to be secure enough to prevent something like that from happening. This was the first time it happened to us in Amsterdam. In other cities, such as Barcelona, Vienna, Prague, etc., it has always worked, and we’ve never been disappointed.

Save big on transit and tours by combining unlimited GVB city transport with an exclusive small-group Amsterdam Light Festival evening cruise.

Navigate Amsterdam effortlessly for 1–4 days using GVB trams, metros, and ferries with this digital, tap-and-go mobile pass.

Bridge the gap from Schiphol Airport using Bus 369 to Sloterdijk, included in your pass to ensure a smooth start to your vacation.

Witness 20+ art installations along the official festival route from the comfort of a cosy, heated electric boat on your Amsterdam Light Festival cruise.

Enjoy an intimate atmosphere on a small-group cruise of just 30 guests, with blankets and expert storytelling from a professional guide.

The GVB ticket is really great. We were able to switch quickly and easily between the METRO, bus, and tram, and got from one place to another quickly throughout the entire trip. Checking in and out on the trams is a bit of a hassle, but that has nothing to do with the ticket. The price is unbeatable, too.

Okay. But it's hard to scan because Apple Wallet opens as soon as you hold your phone up to the scanner. Then, however, the QR code can't be scanned. An Apple Wallet integration would be perfect.
