  • Getting around Amsterdam is easy when you use the trams. The 1-hour ticket and 24-hour ticket are available on the tram and bus or from Ticket Vending Machines at all metro stations. In this video, I will tell you everything you need to know including the hours of operation, costs, and why they are so clean! I will also tell you about my favorite travel app and why you need to download it for your next vacation.

    Even though the 1 hour tickets is expensive, there is also a cheaper way to pay for shorter single trips: You can just hold your credit or debit card to the card reader when getting on/off the tram. It will automatically charge you a kilometer price (this is cheaper than 1-hour tickets on most jouneys).

I've already downloaded the app. 3 weeks before our trip. 3 full days in Amsterdam, then Stockholm, Copenhagen, etc on a cruise. I feel much better equipped after your video. Thank you!

    Greetings from the valley of the sun! Can you please advise as to good 3 to 4 star hotels to stay at in Amsterdam. I was thinking of staying at the Hampton inn central east. Also, can you just buy the daily ticket for 72 hours from the airport and use it to go to the city center? Thank you!

    • @TinagirlTravels
      @TinagirlTravels  3 місяці тому +1

      Hello! Hotels are so different in Europe compared to Canada and the US. The rooms are smaller, the stairs are steeper, often there are no elevators or air conditioners, especially in the old part of Amsterdam. However, staying right in Amsterdam in a cool old building with all that history is so fun. I have a video on the last place we stayed in Amsterdam ua-cam.com/video/E0kaglvr4Sg/v-deo.htmlsi=V4Z5EKBTEIBb_7Lg
      The location was awesome, it was comfortable and clean but if you read the reviews they are mixed. If you want something more modern, we also stayed in Hoofddorp near the airport at the Hampton by Hilton Amsterdam.
      As for the ticket, yes, you can buy a 3 day pass from the airport . Hope this helps, enjoy your trip.

    • @JulesStoop
      @JulesStoop Рік тому +1

      @@EVERTONFC. the cards known as ‘OV-chipcard’-which anyone staying for more than a single week should get-act like an electronic cash wallet of sorts. You charge the card with money (at one of the yellow ticket machines); you pay a (higher than typical trip fee) deposit at tap in; the exact fee for your specific trip is calculated and settled with the deposit when you tap out properly. If you fail to do so, the system keeps all of the deposit but before it does that, it keeps you on ‘checked in’ status for a while. During that period you’ll be unable to tap in for your next trip. Secondly: some of the stations (most if not all metro stations and many of the NS train stations) have toll gates. If your card is left in a non checked-out status, the gate won’t let you pass on your way in.

    I'm coming to Amsterdam from England in a few weeks time and I'm staying for 6 nights. I will arrive into Schiphol Airport on Saturday 22nd July. I'm staying in a Hotel in Zaandam. I want to know does this 3 day travel pass cover the train from Schiphol Airport to Zaandam or will I have to pay a single fare from the Airport to Zaandam. I will most likely just stay in Zaandam on the Saturday evening and have a look around. I will travel into Amsterdam all the other days that I'm there.

    • @AdderFTW888

      the 3 day pass shown in the video is only valid for the GVB transport company, which only has services inside amsterdam (bus, tram, metro) for the train you need to get a NS train ticket. You can have different ways of traveling. Either by a train ticket, a QR code (you can get one with the NS reisplanner app) or by traveling with a credit/debit card with contactless payments enabled. I recommend the latter, same system with tapping in and out, but instead of a ticket you use your bank card. Works like a charm.

      The day and multi-day ticket is also available at various hotels, camp sites, Tours & Tickets and AKO bookstores in Amsterdam.
      These travel products can also be purchased in the GVB app as a barcode ticket.

      Good question, I’d have to look at a transit map. We often do that too. In Amsterdam we hopped on, rode until we saw something interesting and then eventually just hopped on the train going back into the city. I have feeling the trains run in a line rather than a circle but I could be wrong.
