amsterdam city informations

 In our opinion, Amsterdam is a secret Mediterranean person who did not understand its geography. If you don't have such a warm-blooded, fun-loving nation, what is it doing in northern Europe? 😀 Due to having done Erasmus in the Netherlands for 1 year, we certainly have a favoritism that we are not aware of, we accept, but Amsterdam is not less now. There is entertainment, there are people from 176 countries, there are canals, there are architectural beauties, there are freedoms, there is culture and art… It is impossible not to warm up to a city where a festival is held for 50 days a year and life is spent on bicycles.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Amsterdam guide of We Are Not At Home is starting! 😀

There are different cards that will make your transportation and museum entrances more affordable in Amsterdam. Depending on how many days you go or the places you want to visit, it would be logical to choose the card that suits you and use it.

I Amsterdam City Card

GVB Daily Cards

A card that covers tram, metro and bus journeys of the GVB company inside GVB Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the bus from the airport is not included. It only includes public transport under the name of GVB, but if you haven't rented a bike, it might be a good idea to buy it. There are trams everywhere in the city and it is quite simple and practical to go from one place to another. The more days you stay, the more days you can get. Think on an hourly basis, like 1 day 24 hours, 2 days 48 hours. In other words, the number of days you bought from the first minute you use it, the more hours it is valid. You can get this card from ticket machines at metro stations, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Dutch Tourist Offices and some hotels. It is sold in many other places. For detailed information about the GVB card, you can check their website.
