Amsterdam Travel Ticket from EUR 20: Schiphol airport train and bus 397 plus unlimited GVB trams, metros and buses for 1 to 3 days. Who it suits and how it works.
The Amsterdam Travel Ticket, ATT on the machines, solves the first problem every visitor has: getting from Schiphol Airport into the city and moving around once there, with a single ticket for 1, 2 or 3 days from EUR 20. It is the only visitor ticket that welds the NS airport train, the Airport Express bus 397 and the whole GVB network into one barcode.
What exactly does the Amsterdam Travel Ticket include?
Second class train travel between Schiphol and every train station inside Amsterdam, from Central and Zuid to Amstel, RAI and Sloterdijk. The Connexxion Airport Express bus 397 and its night version N97 from the airport straight to the museum quarter and Leidseplein. And on top, unlimited GVB: every tram, metro, city bus, night bus and ferry for the validity of your ticket.
What does the Amsterdam Travel Ticket not cover?
Regional buses beyond the two airport lines, and any rail beyond the city boundary, so Haarlem, Zaanse Schans and Keukenhof sit outside it: that is the territory of the Amsterdam & Region Travel Ticket. Taxis and the hop on hop off boats are their own world entirely.
How do the days count?
Calendar days, midnight to midnight, not 24 hour blocks. Land at 22:00 with a 2 day ticket and day one is two hours long. The practical rule: buy the duration that matches your calendar days in the city, and for a landing after mid evening consider a train single that night plus an ATT from the next morning.
Who should buy the Amsterdam Travel Ticket?
Fly in city breakers staying up to three days who will ride trams daily: the round trip airport train alone is worth about EUR 12, so the rest of the bundle only needs a few rides to win. Pass buyers should do one check first: the I amsterdam City Card already includes GVB but NOT the airport train, so the elegant combination for card holders is a train single each way rather than a full ATT on top. The Amsterdam city card comparison table makes that pairing explicit.
Buying and using it
Buy online and ride with the barcode: gates at Schiphol, readers on the 397, tap in and out on GVB exactly like a plain GVB ticket. Keep the phone charged; the barcode is the ticket.
