This would make an ideal choice for travelers who have already seen Amsterdam's highlights and now want to use the city as a kick-off point for nearby day trips.
You can pick a format that fits you
Choose a pick-your-own Explorer Pass, and visit the attractions on your bucket list, or an unlimited All-Inclusive Pass to see as many sights as possible.

Frequently asked questions about the Go City Amsterdam Pass
Download the Go City app, sync your pass using the code in your confirmation email, and show the QR code at your first attraction. Activation happens on that first scan, not when you buy or download the pass.
Explorer Passes are valid for 30 days after your first scan and count down in terms of attractions visited. All-Inclusive passes run on consecutive calendar days, ending at midnight each day, so scanning your pass during the afternoon still counts as a full day.
Your pass is usually easiest to access via the app. However, to avoid being in situations where the app won't load or you cannot access the internet, you should screenshot or print the QR code before you head out. Also carry a printout of the code in case your battery dies. This way, staff can often scan the backup instead.
Yes, some attractions and tours still need advance booking even if your entry is covered. Check the Go City app for the “reservations required” label, because turning up without a slot can mean being refused entry.
No. Rijksmuseum is included on the All-Inclusive Pass, but not on the Explorer Pass. If Rijksmuseum is one of your must-dos, choose the All-Inclusive or buy a separate ticket only for that museum.
No, public transport is not included with this pass, and neither are airport transfers. You’ll need separate tickets or contactless payment for trams, buses, metro, or trains while moving between attractions.
No, you can visit each included attraction only once per pass. If you want to go back to the same museum, cruise, or experience, you’ll need to buy a separate ticket for the second visit.
Not completely. You may skip the ticket-purchase line at some attractions, but you still join normal entry, security, and timed-slot queues. It’s prepaid admission, not a universal fast-track pass with guaranteed priority access.
No. You can usually cancel an unused pass within the stated refund window, but once your pass is activated at the first attraction, it’s non-refundable even if you do not use all your remaining entries or days.
If a listed attraction is closed, fully booked, or not running on your date, you’ll need to choose another included option. The pass does not override closures, and you generally are not refunded for one unavailable attraction.
