I amsterdam City Card 24 to 120 hours: what does one day cost?

Per day the price falls from €67.00 to €28.00. We show what each day's admissions need to bring in and when the shorter card is cheaper.

In short: the card costs €67.00 for 24 hours and €140.00 for 120 hours, as of 30 Sep 2026. Per day the price falls from €67.00 to €28.00. Each further day costs €27.00, €21.00, €15.00 and finally €10.00 extra. A day only becomes cheap, though, if you use it. You can see the options on the I amsterdam City Card prices page.

The card counts hours, not calendar days. If you activate the 24-hour card at 17:00, it is valid until 17:00 the next day according to the FAQ. If you arrive in the afternoon, it makes sense to plan from the moment of activation and not from the morning.

What a day has to bring in admissions

Without the card you pay at most €10.50 per day on public transport if you check in and out with a bank or credit card. The right-hand column shows how much admission per day has to be left over if you reach this limit every day. Values rounded.

OptionPrice per 24 hoursAdmissions per day needed with full public transport, from
24 hours€67.00€56.50
48 hours€47.00€36.50
72 hours€38.33€27.83
96 hours€32.50€22.00
120 hours€28.00€17.50

At 120 hours, with a lot of tram riding, a single admission per day on average is enough, such as the Rembrandthuis (from €19.50). The A'DAM Lookout (€16.50 online) is not enough on its own. At 24 hours you need €56.50 in admissions, which means at least three at online prices.

When the longer card is more expensive

The last day costs only €10.00 extra. Every free offer with a documented price is above that, the cheapest (Oude Kerk) at €14.50. The extra cost therefore pays off as soon as you use one of these admissions on that day.

It looks different if nothing is planned on one day. If you stay four days and only visit museums on three of them, the 72-hour card plus one day of public transport at the limit costs €125.50. The 96-hour card costs €130.00. The shorter card is €4.50 cheaper.

Explorer: pay per activity

Besides the Total Experience there is the Explorer. It is valid for 5 days, includes no public transport and costs €44.00 for 3, €69.00 for 5 and €95.00 for 7 activities. Per activity that is €14.67, €13.80 and €13.57, rounded. You choose the activities freely from the City Card offer. The Explorer ends after 5 days or as soon as all activities have been used. Children from 4 to 17 pay €29.00, €39.00 and €49.00. We do not include it in the calculator because it charges per activity rather than per day. As of 30 Sep 2026.

Child card

There is a separate card for children from 4 to 17, only together with an adult card. It costs €40.00 for 24, €57.00 for 48, €69.00 for 72, €78.00 for 96 and €84.00 for 120 hours. The Rijksmuseum is free for children anyway, NEMO (€21.50) is not. You can work out your own combination in the calculator.
