Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Your ticket is delivered digitally and can be shown on your phone when boarding at any stop.
When does my 24 or 48 hours start?
Your chosen timeframe begins the moment you first board the boat, not from the time of booking.
Can I board at any stop, or must I start at Central Station?
You can join the Green Route at any of the eight designated stops — Central Station East is simply the most convenient starting point for most visitors.
How often do the boats run?
Departure frequency can vary by season and time of day. Check the City Sightseeing Amsterdam website for up-to-date schedules and operating hours before you travel.
My child is under 4 — do I need to book a ticket for them?
Children under 4 travel free of charge. Each paying adult may bring up to two children under 4 at no cost, though they will not be allocated a dedicated seat.
