Good for me to travel the first time to Amsterdam. Saved money to visit most of the museums I wanted to see, city boat tour. Easy to hop on to the tram and no need to buy ticket on every trip...

Easy to use and great value. Staff at the I Amsterdam shop at Centraal Station were very helpful - we would have found it hard to download and activate tickets without her help.

About: NEMO Science Museum

NEMO Science Museum is a science centre in Amsterdam, located at the Oosterdok. It was built on top of the IJ-tunnel that connects the centre of Amsterdam with the north of the city. The striking building, designed by Italian architect and engineer, Renzo Piano, opened its doors in 1997. Some say the shape of the building mimics the appearance of a large boat, but others suggest that it's actually a reflection of the tunnel it was built upon.
