Rijksmuseum + Amsterdam Kanalrundfart

Un gran tour con una guía en distintos idiomas narrando algunas historias de monumentos que están al rededor del canal. Muy recomendable.

Eine tolle Crew begrüßt einen lächelnd und zuvorkommend. Wir durften sogar spontan das Boot wechseln, da wir draußen sitzen wollten und nicht jedes Boot hat dazu die Möglichkeit. Die Station liegt direkt am Bahnhof und ist daher sehr zentral. Preis-Leistung ist top.

Nous avons fait un tour des canaux en février inclus dans la IAmsterdam City Card (que je recommande d’ailleurs de prendre). Le guide était très gentil et très drôle, ce qui a rendu la balade encore plus agréable. Nous avons eu la chance de visiter les canaux sous un magnifique ciel bleu, ce qui a rendu l’expérience vraiment magique.

Excelente atención, y te dan traductores para que comprendas al guía mientras explica el recorrido

Lovers cruise

Very enjoyble experience, the captain of the cruise gave us a very funny and interesting description of the city, and the staff gave an excellent service.

Es un tour más general

El tour está muy bien, en cambio si ya has hecho un freetour por la ciudad recomiendo el crucero primero, te da una vista más general, mi amiga y yo al haber hecho antes el freetour volvimos a ver sitios en los que ya habíamos estado.

Très belle découverte en péniche

Croisière avec le groupe lovers Sympathique croisière traduit en plusieurs langue 1h pour vous faire un tour des canaux avec visite guidée et indication sur les différents quartiers/monuments / place/ marché /histoire / musée de la ville etc Très bien pour découvrir une 1er fois en famille en amies en couple cette croisière et très bien adapter

Amsterdam City River Cruise

The canal cruise was perfect, the captin come guide gave us headphones to listen in our own language. The riverboat was clean and tidy, easy to walk on and off, it was a nice day and we got some beautiful pictures!! A great end to a fantastic tourist holiday!!

Early evening cruise

We did the early evening cruise to see the lights of the city. Easy to get tickets by turning up and allocated the next cruise. There is an audio link that you can use, but we decided to just sit outside and watch the views. An hour cruise which was interesting and pretty.

Great information finding cruise

We had an hour cruise around the canals in Amsterdam and learnt a lot whilst doing it. We really enjoyed every second. My five year old didn’t want to get off. The captain was also very knowledgeable.

Très bien

Petite balade bien sympathique, est l’audio était très bien fait rien à redire. Le petit bar pour attendre est très sympa aussi avant d’accéder au bateau.

A Must Try

This is a must do on your list of things to do while visiting Amsterdam. It takes you through areas that you may not be able to walk to. The captain points out things of interest and tells the story behind it.

Informativ und schön

Wir hatten einen super symphatischen Bootsführer der viele Nebeninfos gab. War schön und informativ. 1 Stunde hat gut gereicht und empfehlenswert. Gute Karte erhalten für den Treffpunkt und pünktlich, sowie sauber.

Un paseo agradable en barco

Muy puntuales, un paseo tranquilo, recomiendo que cuando lo cojan miren bien la metereología, pues así podrán disfrutar mejor de las vistas.

DA PROVARE

Giro dei canali in barca assolutamente da consigliare. Audioguida in italiano e Simon simpaticissimo conducente che comunque dava ulteriori informazioni in inglese. La durata è di un'ora ma ci è dispiaciuto scendere!!

Tolle Tour

Die Stunde waren zwar nur ca. 50 Minuten, aber die Tour war wunderschön. Unbedingt abends machen, die Atmosphäre ist unbeschreiblich!

👍👍👍

Sehr nette Bootstour über die Kanäle von Amsterdam! Man bekommt viele interessante Informationen über die Stadt und deren Geschichte erzählt.

intéressant

La promenade sur les canaux dure une heure. Les audio guides permettent de suivre les commentaires dans différentes langues. Le long de cette promenade fluviale, nous découvrons l'histoire de la ville et des monuments "célèbres". Par contre, le confort est rudimentaire.

Para escalas cortas de vuelo

Las vistas son preciosas, aunque desde posición incómoda porque el barco estaba muy lleno. El capitán muy simpático e hizo agradable el viaje.

Crociera easy

Crociera molto carina con guida in tutte le lingue. Partenza vicino ala stazione centrale. Durata circa un ora. Visita dei canali principali di Amsterdam. Da provare

A fab way to see Amsterdam

We had a really lovely time on the one-hour canal cruise. Our captain was very lovely and cracked a good few jokes throughout the tour. The GPS guided tour via the headphones was a fab idea and there were so many language options available which was a really pleasant surprise. We learned so much about the history of the city and the tour even helped us to find places to visit again in further detail after the tour. The price was extremely reasonable considering the excellent experience we got, and our boat even left a little early which was nice. All in all, we would definitely recommend it!

The captian made the experience

We really enjoyed it. We show I I amsterdam cards at the ticket office ans were on a boat and on our way within 10 minutes. Our captain (Tony I believe was his name) was lovely ,cheerful and very knowledge of the area, he also had 2 traniees with him and they were also lovely. The facilties were clean. If I hadn't have had the I amsterdam card I would have still paid what the price was (which I think is reasonable).

Well worth the experience

1st time in Amsterdam and loved it Booked on the Lovers Canal cruise early in the morning to get a feel for the city and to get our bearings The tour showed the highlights of the city and the comentry was good

Cruising backward :(

sitting backward is really annoying... Except that I think it is very nice and the captain was a nice guy, he was really funny, making jokes.

Go with Lovers

Booked through Get Your Guide literally 20 mins before boarding. They let us join a boat that was boarding as soon as we got there, which was great, no standing around as they weren’t so busy. We took a daytime trip and glad we did. Maybe evening cruises would be better in warmer months with open boats. The boat was modern, clean and warm and no condensation at all during any part of our cruise. The headphones were included and the audio commentary was interesting. The captain also added bits and pieces of extra info which was appreciated. It was a great introduction to the canals of Amsterdam as we decided to do this trip literally an hour after arriving in Amsterdam. It helped us with our bearings and with general historical info about the city. The reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is that we seemed to stay on one canal, no museums seen, no Anne Frank house, nothing like that, which was a shame as lots of tourists probably visit these places afterwards. Maybe the canal boat starting from the museums area take that route? We took the one from the station. There are lots of canal boat companies, but we were more than happy with Lovers as their boats appear a lot more modern than many others we saw. I would definitely recommend the cruise and my teenage daughter said it was one of the nicest things we did when in Amsterdam.

Great couples tour

A amazing tour with some great canal boat skills performed and a great host. This tour is very much for couples and being alone I felt a little out of place.

A Great Way To See The City

Done the open boat tour during the summer. A great way to see the city and the audio guide gave plenty of information along the way. Extremely relaxing to the point I almost fell asleep half way around. Would definitely do the tour again if I’m back in Amsterdam

Quick visit to see Amsterdam

Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Although it rained, I still enjoyed the tour. The only complaint was the audio was difficult to hear at times.

Relaxing hour on the canals

Nice relaxing hour around the canals. Duco (sorry if I have not got the name correct) was informative with history and fun facts. Would recommend.

Good cruise

It was educational, slowed down at the right places. The pilot was polite and explained well- was fun and energetic.

God museumsoplevelse uanset alder

Virkelig en god museumsoplevelse for både børn og voksne. Alene bygningen i sig selv er et værk. Der var meget at se på for både store og små - og snyd jer ikke for at se biblioteket som giver en følelsen af at se biblioteket fra Skønheden og udyret.

Flot sted, men hav tålmodighed og spis hjemmefra

Rijksmuseum er en flot bygning med masser af mulige oplevelser udover Nattevagten. Desværre fungerer faciliteterne ikke særlig godt. Der var meget lang kø til garderoben, så vi valgte at forsøge at få en locker, hvilket heldigvis lykkedes selvom der også var kamp om dem. I den lille kaffebar kunne vi ikke sidde og der var lang kø til cafeen i al den tid vi var på museet. Vi var både sultne og tørstige, så vi måtte forlade museet. Næste gang må vi forberede os bedre eller håbe på, at der er skruet op for kapaciteten eller adgangen begrænses.

Fantastisk museum, et must i Amsterdam

Fantastisk museum, et must i Amsterdam! Virkelig et flot museum i en flot gammel bygning. Mange flotte malerier - ja, enkelte så flotte at man kunne tro det var fotos. De kunne noget de malere på den tid! Husk at bestille billetter online. Kommer selv gerne tilbage.

Flot bygning

Er bestemt et besøg værd. Flot bygning med varierede udstillinger. Der skal bestilles tid, men stedet virkede ikke overfyldt.

Stort på mange plan

Rijksmuseum er kæmpe stort, og der er ingen tvivl om, at der gemmer sig en ufattelig nationalskat i bygningerne. Værker fra Rembrandt, Vermeer og selvfølgelig Van Gogh er blandt de absolut mest kendte. Det er også tydeligt, at folk stimler sammen om lige præcis disse kunstneres malerier. Man kan derfor til tider blive udfordret på tålmodigheden. Der er også andre genstande på museet, men det er uden tvivl malerierne, der er det mest interessante. For børn og unge kan et besøg godt blive lidt kedsommeligt. Der mangler efter min overbevisning noget interaktiv information, således man også kan få den målgruppe med.

Gorgeous

What a beautiful museum. We came here last minute after I unexpectedly ended up wheelchair bound and it was very accessible. As an art enthusiast it was great to spend several hours surrounded by amazing Dutch works of art. The building itself is spectacularly designed and I could have admired the architecture for hours.

Un must!

Questo Museo è una vera meraviglia a partire dall'edificio che lo ospita che combina elementi gotici e rinascimentali. Il Museo possiede la più grande collezione di dipinti del Secolo d'oro olandese (1584-1702) e una collezione di arte asiatica. Sicuramente non si può non visitare se sei ad Amsterdam.

Fabulous museum

A fabulous museums with great collections. The app is very slick, informative and easy to use. Book tickets in advance and get there early it got super busy by lunch time.

La pittura fiamminga

La scuola fiamminga è presente in tutta Europa, ma è solo al Rijsk che si può ammirare in tutta la sua straordinaria poliedricità

In jedem Fall besuchen!

mit schwerbehindertenausweis/pass kann die begleitperson gratis rein. geeignet für rollstuhlfahrer, da aufzüge. fassade historisch, innen hochmodern. sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites personal. am besten obere etage anfangen und dann nach unten. meisterwerke! beeindruckende möbelarbeiten. vorhalle hat historische malereien und fantastischen mosaikboden. sehr zu empfehlen. vorsicht: vorm museum stehen rikschafahrer, die betrügen (3 minuten - strecke sollte 15 € kosten... heftiger stundenlohn) august: "nachtwache" von rembrandt wird gerade restauriert. es ist durch eine ca. 4 m entfernte glaswand geschützt. auf großen laminierblättern -in versch.sprachen- wird das bild erklärt.

A ne pas manquer

Super lieu de rassemblement d’œuvres d’art. Classement des étages par périodes, facile à sélectionner. Du monde, mais l’emplacement est suffisamment aéré pour circuler. Nombreuses œuvres des grands peintres néerlandais. A faire absolument lors d’un visite à Amsterdam.

Tips speciaal voor rolstoelgebruikers!

Het museum is goed rolstoeltoegankelijk! Maar erg druk. Vooral bij de Eregalerij en bij de tentoonstelling over Fiep Westendorp was het als rolstoelgebruiker vechten om een plekje te krijgen om een schilderij goed te kunnen bekijken. Voor mensen die niet goed tegen drukte en prikkels kunnen, probeer dan op een rustig tijdstip het museum te bezoeken. Zoals 's morgens vroeg....

Un museo semplicemente straordinario

Il Rijksmuseum è stata una delle esperienze più belle del nostro soggiorno ad Amsterdam. Un museo davvero impressionante, non solo per la quantità e la qualità delle opere esposte, ma anche per la straordinaria bellezza dell’edificio che già dall’esterno lascia senza parole. Una volta entrati ci si trova davanti a un percorso enorme, ricco di arte, storia e cultura olandese. Le sale sono curate magnificamente e la collezione è talmente vasta che si potrebbe tranquillamente trascorrere un’intera giornata al suo interno. Il momento più emozionante è stato sicuramente trovarsi davanti alle opere dei grandi maestri olandesi. Vedere dal vivo la Ronda di notte di Rembrandt e le opere di Vermeer è un’esperienza completamente diversa dal vederle in fotografia. La dimensione delle opere, i dettagli, la luce e le pennellate acquistano un valore completamente nuovo. Ho apprezzato molto anche l’organizzazione del museo: nonostante le dimensioni, il percorso è ben strutturato e permette di alternare i grandi capolavori a tantissime altre opere e collezioni, scoprendo continuamente qualcosa di interessante. Da non perdere anche la Cuypers Library, uno degli ambienti più affascinanti del museo. È sicuramente un museo impegnativo per quantità di cose da vedere, ma proprio per questo consiglio di prendersi tutto il tempo necessario e non cercare semplicemente di “spuntare” le opere più famose. Un luogo che racconta l’Olanda attraverso l’arte e la storia e che riesce davvero a sorprendere. Una delle visite assolutamente imperdibili ad Amsterdam. 5 stelle meritatissime.

A MUST DO EXPERIENCE!

A MUST DO EXPERIENCE! One of the most amazing museum and art gallery collections in the world. The building itself is well worth the visit. The Libray is really a wonder in itself. The art works are breathtaking; unless sen live you can do justice to this collection. The museum is complemented by a great cafe. One of the best experiences of Amsterdam.

Art, Stories & Inspiration Under One Roof

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Review As an artist and teacher, I truly enjoyed visiting the Rijksmuseum. I loved exploring the paintings and seeing how different artists expressed their ideas, emotions, and creativity through art. What I particularly appreciated was the combination of art, history, and the visitor experience. The workshops and creative activities, especially the opportunity to explore photography and artistic expression, made the visit more interactive and inspiring. As a student of International Leisure, I also found the museum interesting from a leisure and tourism perspective. It is not simply a place to look at artworks; it creates an experience where culture, creativity, education, and the city of Amsterdam come together. For me, the Rijksmuseum was both inspiring as an artist and interesting as a teacher and leisure student. I left with new ideas, beautiful memories, and plenty of creative inspiration. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone interested in art, culture, and creative experiences.

Incontournable à Amsterdam

Le musée est génial. Vous voyez toute sorte de collection (ornements, sculptures, peinture, armes…) allant du Xe siècle à notre ère. On y circule aisément, il n’y a pas d’attroupement ce qui rend l’expérience agréable. Les accès PMR sont bien accessibles, renforçant l’agreabilité du musée. Il faut tout de même compter 25€ l’entrée, ce qui, en tant que jeune française me paraît élevé, mais en vaut le coup. Il est relativement conséquent, il faut prévoir plusieurs heures pour l’apprécier véritablement.

Do not miss!

I was sceptical as to whether my children (8, 10, 12) would last the course in the Rijksmuseum but it was one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam and would highly recommend. The building is obviously stunning but the variety and interest of the art means it was enjoyed even by my youngest. Each piece has an adjacent description which is easy to read and accessible, and there are some really big hitters, and others which are just genuinely beautiful. Fantastic gift shop. I would have liked a bit of info on the artists at each of their sections - there is some limited info given about their backgrounds in the descriptions of their pieces, but it would it would have been helpful to have something more comprehensive to have some context when looking at their work. Would definitely visit again and leave more time to see the special exhibitions, which we didn't have time for. (Also - the gift shop is excellent!)

You have to go

The Rijksmuseum was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. It’s such an iconic museum, and there is an incredible amount to see. We were especially glad we went early, arriving around 9am, because even then it was already busy. As the morning went on, it got noticeably more crowded, so I’d definitely recommend getting there as early as possible. I also highly recommend buying your tickets in advance. It makes the whole experience much easier and saves you from worrying about tickets when you arrive. One thing I really appreciated was the museum app. It gives you a discount in the museum shop, and you can also use it for free audio tours if you bring your own headphones. That was a great little bonus and made it easier to get more out of the visit without paying extra for an audio guide. There’s so much history and incredible artwork here that you could easily spend several hours exploring. We really enjoyed our visit, and I would absolutely love to come back again. Definitely a must-see while in Amsterdam!

Secoli di arte

Forse meno iconico del museo di Van Gogh ma ugualmente ricco di arte, diviso in più piani ognuno con arte di un secolo/periodo preciso con artisti di varie nazionalità, anche se gli olandesi ovviamente vanno per la maggiore. Biglietti acquistabili anche online: consigliabile arrivare abbastanza presto perché già a metà mattina ci si muove con difficoltà tra le varie sale.

Bijzonder groot museum

Mooi museum, in een dag kun je niet alles goed bekijken, zo groot is het. Het gebouw is prachtig. Bijzondere collectie. Afwisseling tussen bekende stukken/werken en onbekend. Heel mooi. Erg bijzonder om het melkmeisje wat ons zo dierbaar is in het echt te zien. Voor ons is het alleen te groot, massaal en druk.

Superbe !!

Superbe ! Tant l'écrin que les collections proposées ! Très bonne scénographie. Boutiques agréables proposant beaucoup de choix !

Very Nice Museum Experience

Entered promptly at our appointed time and began our walk about. Do yourself a favor and download the Rijks Museum app at your device App Store. Our experience was great as the art work presented is beautiful with a nice mix of paintings (predominant), sculpture, and historical items. The facility is laid out well and only in front of several of the better known paintings was it slightly crowded. The app provides descriptions of some of the paintings via an entered code number and provides an interactive map via a door way numbering system. Really well done and a nice afternoon spent looking at Dutch masterpieces.

Un grande museo… in tutti i sensi!

Il museo, nella Museumplein, è un edificio nobiliare enorme vicino al Van Gogh Museum, al Moco e a molti altri. Raggiungibile molto facilmente in tram. I capolavori di Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rembrandt, … e le Collezioni speciali (modellini navali, armi, gioielli, abiti, case delle bambole, …) sono tantissimi da vedere ma meritano tutti! Super anche la biblioteca. Piace anche ai bambini. Organizzato molto bene con biglietteria anche all’esterno; caffetteria moderna e molto ben strutturata anche per le intolleranze come le mie; shop molto fornito. Prezzo nella media e minimo due/tre orette per la visita.

Afternoon at the museum

I spent several hours enjoying the Dutch Masters artwork. well worth the admission. Wonderful experience! Not too busy on a Tuesday afternoon. Classic atmosphere. Very helpful staff.

Exceeded our expectations

The Rijksmuseum really exceeded our expectations. It was a great way to get an overview of Dutch history through art. We bought a NL museum pass at the museum (€75 per adult) which gives non-EU residents free or reduced-price entrance to 5 museums. Entry was free as a result, although we pre-booked our entrance date and time on their website. The museum has a free app, so you can choose any number of self-guided tours depending on what you’re interested in or how much time you have. The museum has a brilliant cafe/restaurant in the central atrium (£8 for 2 coffees and £32 for lunch with drinks for 2).

A world-class museum that left us completely amazed

Rijksmuseum was the absolute highlight of our trip to Amsterdam and one of the most extraordinary museums we have ever visited. The collection is truly world-class, and the museum itself is a masterpiece of architecture, history, and art. My boyfriend and I spent several hours exploring the galleries, and every room was filled with incredible paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and historical treasures. Seeing Rembrandt’s The Night Watch in person was an unforgettable experience and one of the greatest artistic moments of our trip. The museum is beautifully organized, spacious, and easy to navigate. The exhibits are thoughtfully presented, and the audio guide provided fascinating insights that made the artworks even more meaningful. We especially loved the Dutch Golden Age galleries, which contain some of the most famous and beautiful paintings in the world. The building itself is stunning, with elegant architecture, beautiful courtyards, and a wonderful atmosphere that makes the entire visit feel special. The gardens outside are also lovely and perfect for a relaxing walk after exploring the museum. We highly recommend booking tickets in advance and allowing plenty of time for your visit because there is so much to see. Rijksmuseum is an essential destination in Amsterdam and one of the finest museums in Europe. It exceeded all our expectations and created unforgettable memories. Truly spectacular and highly recommended!

Beautiful Artwork, but a Little Overwhelming

We had a really interesting visit to the Rijksmuseum! We did a guided audio tour, which was just over an hour long. You have to be 16+ to do the tour, although my brother was 15 and they still let him join us, which was really nice! The only downside was that it was very busy and quite noisy, so I personally found it quite difficult to concentrate at times. I also felt that our tour guide spoke a little too fast, which made it harder to keep up with everything. Because there were so many people around, the tour also felt a little rushed at times, and I would’ve liked more time to properly take everything in. However, the paintings and sculptures were absolutely beautiful! The toilets were also super clean and surprisingly quiet, which was really nice considering how busy the rest of the museum was! The library was also soooo quiet, not that busy, and it was really beautiful!! 🤩 Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and I’d definitely recommend going if you’re in Amsterdam.

À voir !

Magnifique musée dans un bâtiment grandiose. À voir ! Il y a du monde mais c’est tellement grand que ce n’est pas dérangeant.

Great!

Amazing museum must visit Full of famous old dutch masters

Great and amazing museum!

So many things to see. There are variety of painting works.

Art lovers paradise

We really enjoyed our visit to the Rijksmusem. It's an amazing building and once inside is even better. The staff are really helpful and friendly. It is massive though so not easy to navigate, we got the audio tour but even then got lost a bit but again staff are always on hand to help out. Great to see some of the most famous paintings in the world and if you are an art lover then It will be a must see. It was a little expensive but that might just be because in Scotland our museums are all free.

Great collection of art, poorly organized audio guide

Great collection of art but audio guide does not flow well. Van Goigh did a better job on the audio guide.

Excellent museum.

Enjoyed my visit to the museum, visited with my daughter and niece, very busy, was specifically interested in the restoration of ‘The Nightwatch’, really impressed. Rembrandt’s other work was also well represented as was paintings by many other Dutch artists. An excellent museum covering 800 years of Dutch art and history.

Ein beeindruckendes, kulturelles Erlebnis

Das Museum ist ein kulturelles Muss für jeden Besucher in Amsterdam. Wir waren an einem verregneten Sonntag dort und es war natürlich sehr gut besucht. Das Museum ist jedoch so gut organisiert, dass wir es trotzdem genossen haben.

So much to see

Great museum with lots to see. The staff are great, it's worth asking them any questions as they are so knowledgeable.

Mooiste museum van Nederland

Wat kun je nog toevoegen aan het mooiste museum van Nederland! Al ben je een leek op kunstgebied dan nog is het de moeite waard!

Large art museum

My family went in July 2026, and we do not usually go to art museums. I had trouble with my tickets downloading and the staff was very helpful and friendly while we were sorting out that issue. The museum is a must see for art lovers. It just was not what we were expecting. I think that we thought that it would be more like the Smithsonian in Wash DC and there would be more than art. There was a replica ship and the library was incredible. I do not think that younger children would enjoy it. We did not do a guide or an audio tour and just felt like we were wandering around.

This place is amazing!

This place is MASSIVE! Pick the time period/artists you NEED to see and go there first. The museum is divided up by time periods, so choose what floor/wing you want to see first. Also, get there early. If you are able to get there about 1/2 hour before they open, that is ideal. Read the info about the museum before going there. It will tell you what you can and can't bring in there and how the museum is set up. If you have a bag, they will search it. There is a mind boggling amount of artwork in the museum. We weren't able to see all that we wanted to see in the 5 hours that we were there. I really enjoy museums and art galleries, not everyone is up for going to one for massive amounts of time. Please plan your visit accordingly. If you want see a ton of stuff and the people you are with are ready to go in 1 or 2 hours, maybe this isn't the museum to go to. There are tons of museums in Amsterdam. Pretty much a museum for every interest, so it's worth researching what you would like to see. We also went to the Rembrandt House, which is worth seeing, if you like Rembrandt.

Wonderful museum

Wonderful museum with so much to see - give yourself 3 hours to fully enjoy it! It was neat to see Nightwatch under restoration.

Great art

So much to see - some fabulous art work from Dutch period. Night watchman under renovation but can still see it book in advance Lovely cafes too Confusing where the toilets are and stairs to certain parts- just ask for help

Fototentoonstelling Ed Van der Elsken

Naar de overzichtstentoonstelling van de Nederlandse fotograaf Ed Van der Elsken in het Rijksmuseum. Foto's uit zijn hele oeuvre en ook diverse zeer interessante filmfragmenten. Nog tot en met 13 september 2026. Ticket geeft ook recht op alle andere tentoonstellingen in het Rijksmuseum op dat moment. Het was niet te druk, we waren er op een dinsdag in juli.

A Beautiful Museum Even for Non-Museum People

I am not usually a big museum person, but I had a great time at the Rijksmuseum. The building itself is beautiful, with soaring high ceilings and a grand, impressive atmosphere throughout. The exhibits were extremely well maintained and thoughtfully presented. The main Rembrandt painting was being restored during our visit, so it was a bit harder to see than usual, but that did not take away from the overall experience. We also had lunch at the café inside the museum, and it was excellent. The coffee was strong and flavorful, and the sandwich was tasty and fresh. The museum can be a bit hard to navigate, so I would recommend either taking a tour or grabbing a map when you arrive. Overall, it was a wonderful visit and well worth making time for while in Amsterdam.

Wonderful museum--for adults, not for kids

Wonderful museum. Beautiful building inside and out (lovely gardens outside as well). Great exhibits and easy to navigate. We went during the week, mid-day, and it wasn't too crowded (except around/in front of Night Watch, and they were doing work on it anyway, so it was a little obscured, which was a bit of a bummer. The ship exhibit was a nice surprise, and it was a hit with our four-year-old. On that note, to those who have said it's kid-friendly (those on Trip Advisor, family travel bloggers and whatnot), I am going to definitely disagree. In fact, when we straight up asked at the info desk when we first entered about the "family route" that we'd read about online, or the kid route (I forget what people were calling it), the man didn't know what we were talking about, and he decidedly said it was not a museum for kids. Not to say that kids aren't allowed, but a) we got a lot of unpleasant looks, and, more importantly, b) there is nothing interactive (which I get; it's an art museum--for adults), nothing to touch, it's mostly paintings on walls, at "adult" level, etc. My guess is that family travel bloggers are trying to justify having taken their kids there because they really wanted to go, but no, it is NOT a museum for kids. Also, it's not baby-friendly either b/c you have to wear your backpack on the front, so if you wanted to carry your baby in a baby carrier, you can't bring in a backpack (or you need two people: one to carry the baby, and one to carry the backpack, which is what we did as there were two of us adults, a baby, and a four-year-old). In short: great museum--FOR ADULTS (or teenagers at the youngest). NOT a museum for kids, despite what other people online will try to tell you.

Museo imponente con numerose opere, sicuramente interessante

Il museo ha un aspetto imponente e le sale interne non sono da meno. Le opere esposte sono numerose e la visita - completa di audio guida - è stata molto interessante.

MUSEO MERAVIGLIOSO, I AMSTERDAM CARD TOP

Pernottando nella zona dei Musei, con finestra sull'affaccio del Rijksmuseum non potevamo assolutamente no visitarlo. Due consigli prima di tutto. Se avete più di 3 giorni, per stare ad Amsterdam e nelle zone limitrofe, acquistate da casa la IAMsterdam CARD che vi farà risparmiare tanti soldi e tanto tempo. Nonostante fossimo in possesso della card, con lo smartphone bisogna loggarsi per prenotare l'orario di entrata. Una volta dentro il museo è grande come una città colmo di meraviglie che vanno dal 1100 ad oggi. 4 Piani con 2 ali ciascuno, ci vuole veramente una giornata intera, ma poi si stringe su ciò che più ci interessa. Meraviglioso vedere con i propri occhi, il dipinto a grandezza naturale della battaglia di Waterloo e i dipinti iconici e famosi d Van Gogh e Monet. Presente all'interno l'audio guida fondamentale, un bar, i servizi e un eccellente ristorante. Chiudono la visita i magnifici giardini del museo all'esterno, visitabili senza biglietto dalle 9 alle 18 gratuitamente. Se chi come noi opta per un panino in pausa pranzo ci sono delle bellissime aree ristoro.

A Must-Visit in Amsterdam—Don't Miss the Masterpieces and Exclusive Miffy Merch!

The Rijksmuseum is one of Amsterdam's most famous landmarks, and it is highly recommended even if you only have limited time in the city. It houses world-renowned masterpieces, including Rembrandt’s iconic "The Night Watch" and Johannes Vermeer’s "The Milkmaid", alongside a vast collection of fascinating historical artifacts. A fun bonus: the museum gift shop sells adorable Miffy merch and keychains dressed up in "The Milkmaid" and "The Night Watch" themes, which make perfect souvenirs!

Top musee

Super musée. Réserver avant les billets bien sûr !

La Ronda de Noche

Ver por mis propios ojos La Ronda de Noche de Rembrandt es una experiencia gloriosa. Todo el museo es impresionante en cuanto a su historia, arquitectura y obra que tiene en resguardo

Foto's van Ed van der Elsken en tekeningen van Fiep Westendorp

Niet alleen schilderijen uit de Nederlandse 17e eeuw, maar ook prachtige foto's van Ed van der Elsken en tekeningen van Fiep Westendorp. Bij Van der Elsken leuke filmopnames. Goede toelichting.

Rijksmuseum is Remarkable

This museum is extraordinary. We stayed for five hours and didn’t see everything. The Old Masters are memorable although we couldn’t see much of Rembrandt’s The Night Watchmen. What you see is the painting being renovated. My favorite room was the library. We had a view from above with the circular staircase and a room filled with art books and ladders. There are many remarkable rooms that we wandered into. Choose what you want to see most and go there first!
