An excellent experience with the City Card! We used it for museums, attractions, and public transportation without any issues. Everything was easy, fast, and extremely convenient: no queues, quick access, and great savings in both time and money. Highly recommended to enjoy Amsterdam freely and without stress!

We got smoothly past ticket control at the Rijksmuseum and were there early enough to quietly enjoy the beautiful collection. We started on the third floor, with the art from after 1950. Highly recommended, you have the rooms with masterpieces almost to yourself! Of course we also descended to the crowd-pleasers on the second floor: Vermeer, Rembrandt.

Great addition to our Amsterdam trip! The class was fun, easy to follow along with and the staff were so helpful, chatty and made a great effort to connect with each member of the group. The stroppwaffles we made we so yummy and great to have the addition of a drink after we did our baking too. It was great to have the option of making traditional stroppwaffles and ones that were decorated, we made one of each. Location easy to find and can be reached via the tram system if needed. Highly recommended for both adults and children (ours are 11 yrs+) and with yummy treat to take away too, what is not to enjoy.
