We’ve booked a short break in Amsterdam in the not too distant future and were planning to simply wing it, seeing what took our fancy in and around the Dutch capital’s streets but that was before I discovered the discount card provided by the city’s tourist board. With free entry to museums (you forget that other countries charge entrance fees to their museums in far greater numbers than in the UK), free public transport, a free canal cruise, free gifts, and loads of discounts too I couldn’t pass up this great resource for getting the most out of our short time in the city.
