That actually looks like a pretty good deal, definitely a nice way to save some shoe leather.

Hello Von Goat Weed, If your goal is transportation around the city I would go for the GVB pass however if you want to travel by water while in the dam go for it there is a stop, I believe, by the Ann Frank house/ Westerkirk(sp) near Paradox :mrgreen:

No it more about being on the canal :D never took a canal trip in Amsterdam , been on the ferry to noord Amsterdam and the fast boat to ijmuiden . Trams sound good ,I just think cause of the seize of the city center is very walkable 10~20 times a day ;) paradox sound good :D isn't 1e hulp near that shop?
