There are free canal boat tours with Holland International or Blue Boat Company, plus a 25% discount from other various attractions (such as Ajax Arena Tour, Boom Chicago Comedy show) and a few restaurants.

Free travel is included on GVB public transport (trams, buses and metro - but not trains) and you also get a complimentary cup of tea and coffee at one of our favourite cheap eats V&D La Place.

The Iamsterdam card is a little on the pricey side and will only be worth it if you plan to do a lot of things during your stay and want the convenience of not having to buy separate entry and transport tickets.

Alternatives to the Iamsterdam Card

* Amsterdam is a relatively small city and most sights can be easily reached on foot. Walking around is a very pleasant way to see the city, especially if the weather is good. Just watch out for the trams and cyclists!

* Buy a strippenkaart which is a cost effective way to get around on public transport.

* Purchase a Museumkaart for €35 which allows free entry in to 400 museums in Netherlands for 12 months. This is exceptional value if you are here for longer periods or plan multiple visits.
