The ease of use of the card was flawless! Really enjoyed all the museums to see and already paid for.
Beautiful city! Absolutely must do city card because it makes your life easier and facilitates entry to a lot of museums and places that you would normally maybe not visit. Highly recommended! Amber

The large selection of different ways to organize your day. I think it's a shame that many interesting sights have to be booked online in advance to get a ticket. We couldn't visit the van Gogh Museum because we didn't get a ticket.

All in all, good. If the QR code worked on the streetcar, that would be great.
