The municipal ferry to NDSM is both transport and an easy waterfront experience. Cross the IJ, explore the northern side and return according to the sailing schedule.

What is free

GVB ferries across the IJ are free for pedestrians; no ticket is needed before boarding.

What is not included

Restaurants, exhibitions and events at NDSM are separate purchases. Do not assume every regional ferry is free.

Before you go

Check the ferry's destination, not just its colour. This is public transport rather than a narrated sightseeing cruise.
