Supporting the city

Comparing the Rotterdam City Card and the Rotterdam pass

For longer-term visitors or residents, the Rotterdam pass offers a different set of benefits. Valid for an entire year, the Rotterdampas provides free or discounted access to over 750 activities in and around Rotterdam, including museums, attractions, and more. While the Rotterdam City Card is tailored for short-term tourists seeking immediate benefits, the Rotterdampas is ideal for expats or locals planning to engage in various activities throughout the year.
