Combine two top attractions

Lovers Canal Cruises offers you the unique opportunity to combine a cruise with a visit to the world-famous Rijksmuseum. Both experiences are not to be missed on a visit to the Dutch capital. This combination ticket is the perfect way to discover Amsterdam.

Enjoy the 8000 artistic and historical objects on display at the Rijksmuseum, before winding your way down the city’s waterways in a canal boat. Or vice versa! The beauty of a Rijksmuseum and cruise combo is that you can structure your day exactly as you want to. It is also one of the better Amsterdam deals, as you will save time and money on both experiences.

The wonders of the Rijksmuseum

Start or continue your day in the impressive Rijksmuseum, the pride of the Netherlands. Covering 800 years of Dutch history, the Rijksmuseum overflows with thousands of famous artworks and historical artefacts. Don’t miss luminous masterpieces by the Dutch masters, such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Frans Hals, admired by people from all over the world.

But the beauty is not just inside the Rijksmuseum. The building itself is worthy of a photo or two as well. Located at the Museumplein, or Museum District, and with definite renaissance and gothic influences, the Rijksmuseum is truly the height of architectural talent.

If you buy your tickets from Lovers Canal Cruises, you also benefit from fast track access. Book online and spend more time viewing your favourite works of art, like The Milkmaid, by Johannes Vermeer, or Rembrandt’s most famous canvas, The Night Watch.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise

An Amsterdam canal cruise is the perfect addition to a trip to the Rijksmuseum. During the hour-long cruise, you’ll discover the beautiful canal belt of the ‘Venice of the North.' The Amsterdam canal cruise is truly one of Amsterdam’s highlights, it’s no wonder that the 100km-long canal belt is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Marvel at the three most famous canals of the city, the Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht, alongside which wealthy spice merchants constructed grand houses during the Dutch Golden Age. The Amsterdam canal cruise is significantly enriched by an audio guide, in 19 languages, packed with fascinating information about the city's history.

A feast for your eyes

A very cultural feast for your eyes. We appreciated the detailed art work throughout. My favourite piece was the distressed swan, my partner's was the tiny van gogh 👂you could spend hours here taking in all of the beautiful art work.

A must see

It's definitely a must-see The building, the library, the history, the art, the paintings, the artefacts. It's remarkable. I felt sad onde I've seen it all. Reserve a morning just to go there

Rich in Dutch History

This was well worth the price of admission. The museum itself is breathtaking and the art tells the rich history of the Netherlands. It is well worth paying a little extra and getting the headset that explains many of the pieces and their relevance to the Netherlands. Book in advance as it is by appointment. The grounds around the museum are beautiful as well and there are always musicians playing in the area near the entrance. Give yourself plenty of time to take in all the beautiful art as well as design of the building.

IF you only have a little time, go to the Gallery of Honor. An experience of a Lifetime

If you can only spend a short time, go directly to the Gallery of Honor. So many great paintings to see and enjoy. The Night Watch was behind glass walls as the museum works on its scheduled maintenance, but you can still see and enjoy this magnificent piece of art. Enjoy the rest of the great paintings and other items as well.

Outstanding National Art Museum With Many Of The Masters

My wife and I came here on a weekend trip to Amsterdam. It us tough to try to do everything this city has to offer un such a short time. However, we did make it here. This place is a very modernly decorated museum featuring several works by Rembrandt and Vermeer, but only one Van Gogh and one Goya. Still, there is magnificent art to be enjoyed in a beautiful setting. Come see it all!

Dutch National Treasure

A treasure-trove. I have been almost every time I have been to Amsterdam, and learned from new interesting items every time. And a super band busking in the entrance - who'd ever heard of Vivaldi on a Balalaika ? !

Louvre of Amsterdam

This museum is a must-see; my partner is not an art person, and he was still happy he went. Even so we spent 3.5 hours there and ended up having the skip the Medieval/Rennaisance floor. Seeing the Dutch painters was incredible. You really don't understand the brilliance of these until you are there. What surprised me the most was the coverage of art from the colonies; I've been to many former colonizers, and the Dutch are truly the most progressive. Numerous times, people apologized to me because I live in formerly colonized land, and the museums reflect his. I saw art from the American and Asian colonies. There were only two small disappointments: the audioguide was a bit difficult to navigate, but it was okay because I ended up just scanning each painting that I was interested in, and that was much better. The second is that there is only one Van Gogh; you'd definitely need to go to the Van Gogh Museum for that.

So Very Much to See!

I think we chose the busiest day to visit museums while on holiday in Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Marathon crowded the streets, park, and surrounding area for the entire day. Fighting crowds outside the museum and inside the Rijksmuseum was a little overwhelming! I decided not to stress searching for the masterpieces within the very large Rijksmuseum, so I just wandered around and took pictures of things that appealed to me! I enjoyed my time in the museum, but if ever in Amsterdam again, I will definitely try to choose a quieter day for my visit.

Alot to see & learn on the Netherlands

Beautiful building and a lot to see! Our group picked up our audio guide & went on our own. On the ground level are free keylockers, which are free to place my personal things. After using the restroom, it was convenient to go back to the locker & drink from my water bottle vs going in check line. I didn't realize I was there for 6 hours! You can take photos, but NO flash. They have a restaurant, small cafe & gift shop. Everyone was helpful.
