What is the alternative to the I Amsterdam Card?

If you are only interested in individual sights in Amsterdam, you can also simply buy the tickets individually.

My tip: make sure you do this before you visit Amsterdam. This will definitely save you time at the attractions (because you already have your ticket) and they are often cheaper than if you buy them on the spot.
