Visiting museums in Amsterdam for a person with disabilities

Huacha · 2025-09-11

Hi everyone,

I’m going to Amsterdam alone for 5 days. I’d like to know if, as a disabled person with a French CMI card, I can get free entry to museums (I’m planning to visit 4). If not, would you recommend the city card? I won’t be using public transport but will get around on foot or by taxi.

I’m also thinking of visiting Haarlem and the Frans Hals Museum. I’ll take the train.

Thanks for your help! This is my first time traveling alone since my difficulties 😉

Hi there!

I also visited Amsterdam alone and loved it! It’s a safe and pleasant city. If your disability is physical, there’s a great public transport network (especially the trams), and the city is flat, which helps! I saw you weren’t planning to use it, but I’m mentioning it just in case. I don’t know Harlem, though.

However, as far as I know, there’s no free entry for people with disabilities in the Netherlands.

The City Card is like everywhere else—you have to calculate if it’s worth it based on what you want to do...

If it helps, I’d like to share my blog post with you. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
