Amsterdam Pass Calculator: Go City vs MegaPass (2026)
Amsterdam's must-books complicate pass math: the Anne Frank House sells only direct and the Van Gogh Museum needs timed slots either way. Passes earn their keep on the museum-dense middle of an itinerary. Tick your list and see the numbers.
1. Who's going, and for how long?
Days matter for unlimited passes; pick-a-number passes give you weeks.
2. What do you want to see?
Gate prices are our researched baselines (as of July 2026).
Prices per person in USD unless noted. Children priced at each operator's child rate where published; gate-price child tickets estimated at 80% of adult. Choice-slot menu rules are simplified; the linked booking pages have the exact menus.
How the Amsterdam passes actually work
Is the I amsterdam City Card on here?
Not yet: the official card isn't bookable through our activity partner. The Go City pass covers a very similar attraction list; the I amsterdam card adds public transport, so if transit matters compare against the MegaPass column, which also bundles it.
Why isn't the Anne Frank House on any pass?
It only sells timed tickets on its own site, released weeks ahead. No pass includes it; book it first and plan the rest of your list around that slot.
Is a pass worth it for a museum trip?
Amsterdam's big museums cluster around $22-28 each, so three museum visits plus a canal cruise is where passes start to win. Fewer than that, buy separately.
