Favorite Thing: Get day passes to ride to the trams, buses, and metro if your stay is three days or more. Day and week passes and strippencards are valid on all trams, buses and metros, and also on trains within the city limits ( an exception is Schiphol airport: you have to buy a train ticket ). You must stamp a day or week pass the first time you use it only. The trams run until just after midnight ( the last trams leave Centraal Station at 12.15 ). After that there is an hourly service of night buses from Centraal Station.
Fondest Memory: Riding the trams can be quite an adventure itself so if you are planning to use them a lot to get around town purchase a day(s) pass from the GVB tourist office outside Central Station, next to the VVV. They range in price according to amount of days you want, 3, 5, 7 or 9 day passes are available. Pictured are 3 day passes for 10,70 Euro and the 9 day passes are 23 Euro. **There is also a free map of all tram and bus routes available from VVV tourist offices or the GVB office.

Favorite Thing: Citizens from outside the European Union can shop tax-free in Amsterdam. The shops that offer tax-free shopping will advertise with a sign in the window, and they will provide you with the form you need to recover the value-added tax (VAT) when you leave the country. **See under Shopping Tips for more information on the VAT refund.

Favorite Thing: Taking canal cruise provides an opportunity to see the city in an entirely different way.
Fondest Memory: Cruising around on a canal tour can be very romantic especially at dusk or at night when everything (including the bridges!) is all lit up.
