Requesting information about Amsterdam Travel Cards
I'm going to visit Amsterdam in last week of June and I'll stay near Sloterdijk Station.
I will land at 9pm in AMS and stay for 5 days.
I have done some search and found out there are three types of tickets for travellers.
I planned to stay and visit places around Amsterdam only.
Since I land at night, I only need to travel to Sloterdijk Station. My questions are:
What will be the best ticket for that? (Getting a train or bus?)
Other days I need to travel around the city. What is the best way to travel using the train (NS) or bus/tram network (GVB)?
Do I have value of purchasing one of the above tickets?
As I understand Amsterdam Travel Ticket only include Train to travel from Airport to one station and has unlimited bus travelling for the period of the card mentioned. Am I correct?
If I buy a train ticket via the mobile app, do I need to pay for the additional charge for a smart card (€1)? Do I need to print it or can the pass on the mobile's screen be scanned?
Best Answer
You should calculate best costs yourself based on next facts:
- 1-hour public transport ticket in Amsterdam is [2.90] and you can not use train within the city. 1
- For travelling around Amsterdam will use train and busses. For the train prices you can look here. Unfortunately, I don't know how you can get ticket price if you don't own ov card.
- Cost for ov-card is 7.50 and prices can be locked here. You can refund remaining costs on the card with fee 1 euro, but you can not return the card.
The trains within the city might be handy for since you will live close by to Sloterdijk.
