Our Top Tips
Amsterdam is vibrant, but different. Comfortably navigate through this city with this guide.
Amsterdam is a Cashless City
As Amsterdam is a largely cashless city, therefore ensure to have your card or mobile with you to buy goods around the city. Only having cash in your pocket might lead to a long run back to the hotel, just so you could buy those tsaty dutch pancakes you saw at the market!

Watch out for Bicycles
Bicycles are present everywhere you look in Amsterdam, in fact there are more bikes than people in the city! Therefore, you must look for bikes on the distinct red cycle lanes scattered throughout the streets. Bikes take priority over pedestrians in this pedal-driven metropolis!
Use a GVB Pass
Use a multi-day GVB Pass for ease of transport as it will allow you to seamlessly travel around the city, without having to worry about your pocket. However, this pass only allows you to go on GVB routes around the city. See the GVB route on the transport page- your smooth travel is our priority.
