Was last there in 2014, got one of those hard plastic cards for use on the trams. Absolutely no memory of where I got it, or how much.

So whats the easiest way to get one for 7 days? Is there a specific place to buy at Central Station, or somewhere else? Whats the cost?

Took a minute to google it and apparently there's a GVB office at central station, not what I remember but I can get a paper card there. Is there a better way, or a better deal?

If you are flying in, you can get one at the I Amsterdam tourist shop at Schippol (also good for train tickets!). They don't put a surcharge on, and you don't have to work out how to use the machine!

GVB day ticket or multi-day ticket

Going for a day out in Amsterdam or staying for a few days in this beautiful city? Then a day ticket or multi-day ticket is the best choice.


One to seven days


The card is there for 1 to 7 days. For children 4 to 11 years there is the very economical children's day ticket.

The GVB day or multi-day tickets allows you to travel at the hours of your own convenience without any limitation throughout Amsterdam, day and night, on the bus, tram, and metro. The day ticket is valid for 24 hours after you first check in.

Note: these tickets are only valid in GVB metros, trams, and buses. Thus, these are not valid in the regional buses of Connexxion and EBS or on the train.
.

The child day ticket is only available as a paper chip ticket. The 1 to 7 day tickets are available as paper chip tickets, but can also be purchased as a travel product on the anonymous or personal OV-chipkaart.

I like the way they include a picture of a woman buying a ticket at the counter. Very helpful for readers who've never seen a ticket, or a counter, or a woman.

If you still have that hard plastic card, just take it with you and load it up on those machines like any public transport card, either for single journeys or a day/multiday pass. But you probably haven't.
