Hi all,

My stay is arranged at Almere Haven for 3 days. I wonder which travel pass would be suitable for me for an unlimited travel all these 3 days.

Thank you

You just use your chipped card. Almere Haven is not covered by any Amsterdam travel pass, nor is it easy to get into Amsterdam from there. I would also be very careful around the Almere train station in the evenings/night.

https://www.holland.com/global/touri...blic-transport Explains how it works. Remember to check out as well as in on buses and trams.

Can you change the place where you are staying?
It is a god 45 minutes or more from Almere Haven to Amsterdam.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Now I am more concerned about my stay. I choose Almere haven because it's very economical. I am more concerned about the safety. Can you please give me more details about the safety of Almere?

Almere Haven is safe, Almere generally is safe, but there have been problems around the station at night. It is economical because it is quite a way from Amsterdam and a long journey by public transport.
It is a modern city, mostly an Amsterdam overflow, with some problems as a result, though most if it is very safe, if charmless. It is very good for cycling around, with nice countryside close by.

Have a look at https://9292.nl/en/ to look at your options for getting to and from Amsterdam.
Note the price quoted is for a single journey, not a return fare.

How much are you saving by staying there?? I ask because when adding in the hassle, extra travel time and cost of transport it may be a false economy.

What is your opinion about staying at Hilversum? The apartment is at 15 min walkable distance from the train station. Is it safe?

Hilversum is fine, and certainly an easier train journey to Amsterdam than Almere Haven.
It is a sizeable town, centre of Radio and TV in the Netherlands, plenty of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants.
Also look at Weesp or Baarn along that same train line, or north to Zaandam, Purmerend or Krommenie, west to Haarlem or even Zandvoort. Closer in maybe Amstelveen, which is on a metro.

Almere and Almere Haven are boring places. If you need to be outside of Amsterdam, why not Leiden, or Utrecht. Or to the north, Hoorn and Monnickendam. Al within 30 minutes by train or express bus to Amsterdam central.

Honestly, why stay in Hilversum. Yes it's safe, everything is safe in NL, but it's boring like anything.

One thing why I wouldn' t want to stay in Almere Haven is that you need to get to Almere proper to get viable public transport options only a train station can bring. I used to have friends in Almere Haven and whenever I visited them, getting to Almere was one thing, then it would take about 30 minutes, including waiting for the bus, to get to Almere Haven. Almere Haven itself is quite lovely though. But boring.

I think OP is looking for somewhere cheap to stay, rather than somewhere interesting.

Almere Haven is quite extreme then. The questions are all about safety. You mention the Central Station area. There too: Almere knows how to do safe and boring.

To me the main drawback to staying in Almere is that it is underserved by the NS. Almere Haven is even more out of the way and needs buses. If you return late at night from Amsterdam, that already throws up restrictions. I would always look for a location that is on main train routes. Purmerend has the same drawback as Almere Haven. Also, if it is about price per night, it would be good to know what the budget is. Amsterdam is always outrageous.
