How to get the most value out of The Amsterdam Go City All-Inclusive Pass
Three big ones are €66.45 directly, so a 1-day pass pays off once you add a canal cruise.
| Don't | Do this instead |
|---|---|
| Spread the big four across days | The Rijksmuseum, Heineken Experience, A'DAM Lookout and a canal cruise fit in one day and nearly cover a 1-day pass on their own. |
| Do Heineken first thing | Do the Rijksmuseum at opening, then Heineken (a short walk) for lunch time. |
| Visit A'DAM Lookout in daylight only | Go near sunset; the free ferry from Centraal takes five minutes. |
| Head to the Rijksmuseum without checking how busy it is | Check the Rijksmuseum's live crowd level on beatthecrowd.co first. If it's busy, do another Amsterdam sight on your pass and come back later. |
Before you set off for the Rijksmuseum, check how busy it is right now on beatthecrowd.co. An hour in a queue is an hour of your pass gone.
