How much does a trip to Amsterdam cost?
In Amsterdam the room is the budget — lodging dominates, museums cluster around €25 a head, and getting around is cheap because GVB caps contactless travel at €10.50 a day. Set your trip below for an honest estimate — a range, not a fake-precise number — across lodging, food, transport and museums. One thing the calculator leaves to you: the city’s 12.5% tourist tax on the room rate, which is usually collected at check-out.
