Amsterdam with friends: how much does the trip cost per person?
Amsterdam is close, easy to reach by train and perfect for a long weekend. It is not cheap, though: accommodation in particular costs a lot.
Stay a little outside the centre and book museums in advance, and you save a good deal.

Tips
- The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House only work with time slots – book online early.
- Areas like Noord or Oost are well connected and cheaper than the centre.
- Bikes are the fastest way around; you can rent them for the whole group.
- Amsterdam's tourist tax is high – check whether it is already included in the price.
Frequently asked questions
- How much money do you need for 3 days in Amsterdam?
- Expect around €475 to €860 per person including travel and accommodation; without accommodation it is about €60 to €100 per day.
- Train or car?
- The train is usually more relaxed: parking in Amsterdam is very expensive. If you drive, a park-and-ride on the edge of the city is worth it.
Split the costs fairly
In Split&Fly you enter flights, accommodation and expenses, search for offers and see straight away what each person and each family pays – even when children pay less, someone stays for fewer nights or isn’t in on everything. At the end, the settlement shows who transfers how much to whom.
