The whole activation process was misleading. And the QR code of the ticket was not always recognized immediately, so you had to use your cell phone several times via the scanner at the metro entrance. But when it worked, the whole thing was great.

Beautiful city I particularly liked the Anselm Kiefer exhibition and the super organized streetcar ride. We only found out after two days that you can get off the tram with a credit card. I think that's great, better than in Paris. A rather complicated system has now been introduced there and the fare is relatively expensive.

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.

The train journey to the airport is ideal. A little downside on the tickets via the app... on the outward journey, we had printed them out but on the return journey we went through the app and it didn't work because as soon as we approached the phone with the QR code, it triggered Apple Pay!!!! We had to ask an agent to open it for us...

Tickets were ready to go instead of managing selections after long flights and it was a two minute wait for the train on the platform. One less headache to manage. Perfect!
