WHO IS AMSTERDAM


Sustainable travel

Our vision? A city for everyone

logo of amsterdam and partners
Our mission to celebrate curiosity, foster community and create a better Amsterdam is in line with Amsterdam’s city marketing toward a sustainable visitor economy in 2025. This is why we are partners in crime. Together, we’re working towards a new wave of tourism that benefits locals, our city and travellers like you.

We’re proud to share that our self-guided food tour is the only tour that’s part of the iAmsterdam City Card. Not a city card holder? You can still book it and enjoy the best Dutch and Surinamese “eat-ssentials” at 6 family-owned businesses.

To accelerate our mission, we’re also part of Tourban: an EU-funded project that supports 60 handpicked SMEs in urban tourism to become more innovative, sustainable and competitive from environmental, economic and social aspects.

With the support of Tourban, we’re excited to take sustainability in Amsterdam to the next level. How? By creating a community of sustainable local tour businesses and connecting them to conscious travellers like you.

Tourism is fun 

And it can also be a force for good. We believe travellers can have a great time and do good at the same time.
