GVB Card?

As indicated earlier, we are staying at Best Western Premier (Delflandlaan 15, 1062 EA Amsterdam) and plan to visit Haarem, Keukenhoff, FloraHolland AalsmeerLeiden, Huge Rotterdam & places around Central Station. Would GVB Card work in these places and in surrounding areas?
Thanks!

The GVB card only works in Amsterdam and the immediate vicinity. Maybe it goes as far as FloraHolland Aalsmeer, but not Haarlem, Keukenhof, Leiden, and Huge Rotterdam (Hugh Rotterdam?). Might be good to get an OV-Chipkaart to travel the train network if you don't want to stop and buy tickets all the time.

Unless you have a Dutch bank account, the Tripkey pass works better for foreigners than the OV-Chipkaart or the GVB card. You just link it to you credit card account and use it on any bus, tram, or train in the entire country. You get the same rates as the Dutch do when they use a local pass.
