Great way to see the city on a rainy day
Hop On – Hop Off buses and boats are a great way to do some city sightseeing in Amsterdam. As you might know by now the weather in Amsterdam is not always cooperative for those who want to do some sightseeing. So it won’t come as a surprise that tourists pouring into the city of Amsterdam, buy Hop On – Hop Off tickets in the thousands. The Hop On – Hop Off tours by CitySightseeingAmsterdam offer a great, convenient alternative for public transport; the routes are simple and take you along all the highlights and landmarks of Amsterdam. The buses and boats that run on the tours are fitted with big panoramic windows to ensure you have a good view on all that there is to see. For those who want to find out more about the highlights that you’ll pass, an audio guide in several languages is available free of charge.
How does it work? There are different types of tickets available; bus only tickets, boat only tickets and combination tickets. These three types can have a validity of either 24 hours or 48 hours. These tickets can either be bought online with a discount or on the buses and the boats themselves. When combined with a tourist attraction like a museum, there is also the possibility of getting a discount.
Hop On Hop Off Buses and boats have various stops in the most interesting parts of the city and tourists can hop on and hop off as much as they want. What could be more fun than hopping off from a boat and hopping into a bus?
