Acerca de
Combine dos atracciones esenciales
Lovers Canal Cruises te ofrece la oportunidad única de combinar un crucero con una visita al mundialmente famoso Rijksmuseum. Ambas experiencias no pueden faltar en una visita a la capital holandesa. Esta entrada combinada es la forma perfecta de descubrir Ámsterdam.
Disfruta de los 8.000 objetos artísticos e históricos expuestos en el Rijksmuseum, antes de recorrer los canales de la ciudad en un barco. ¡O a la inversa! Lo bueno de la combinación de Rijksmuseum y crucero es que puedes estructurar tu día exactamente como quieras. También es una de las mejores ofertas de Ámsterdam, ya que ahorrarás tiempo y dinero en ambas experiencias.
Las maravillas del Rijksmuseum
Empieza o continúa tu día en el impresionante Rijksmuseum, el orgullo de los Países Bajos. Abarcando 800 años de historia holandesa, el Rijksmuseum rebosa de miles de obras de arte famosas y artefactos históricos. No te pierdas las luminosas obras maestras de los maestros holandeses, como Rembrandt, Van Gogh y Frans Hals, admiradas por gente de todo el mundo.
Pero la belleza no está sólo en el interior del Rijksmuseum. El propio edificio también merece una o dos fotos. Situado en la Museumplein, o barrio de los museos, y con claras influencias renacentistas y góticas, el Rijksmuseum es realmente la cumbre del talento arquitectónico.
Si compras tus entradas en Lovers Canal Cruises, también te beneficiarás de un acceso rápido. Reserva en línea y dedica más tiempo a ver tus obras de arte favoritas, como La lechera, de Johannes Vermeer, o el lienzo más famoso de Rembrandt, La ronda de noche.
Crucero por los canales de Ámsterdam
Un crucero por los canales de Ámsterdam es el complemento perfecto para una visita al Rijksmuseum. Durante la hora que dura el crucero, descubrirás el precioso cinturón de canales de la "Venecia del Norte". El crucero por los canales de Ámsterdam es uno de los aspectos más destacados de la ciudad, por lo que no es de extrañar que este cinturón de canales de 100 km de longitud haya sido declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.
Asómbrate con los tres canales más famosos de la ciudad, el Keizersgracht, el Prinsengracht y el Herengracht, junto a los cuales los ricos comerciantes de especias construyeron grandes casas durante la Edad de Oro holandesa. El crucero por los canales de Ámsterdam se enriquece considerablemente con una audioguía, en 19 idiomas, repleta de información fascinante sobre la historia de la ciudad.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Museo Amsterdam
Fue una visita de familia👨👨👦 lo pasamos muy bien la entrada barata para pasar el tiempo en familia está muy bien 🤗 una pasada
Genial
De maravilla. Volveremos a repetir y con los consejos de TripAdvisor todo genial. Muchas felicidades rutas de los viajeros que me han pegado para que las pueda hacer en la mañana y tarde.
Mejor opción en museos
Espectacular colección de obras de pintores holandeses recopiladas en este museo. Incluye obras de Rembrandt y Vang Gogh. Duración de la visita 2 horas. Fácil de visitar.
Imprescindible visitarlo
1. Reservar online 2. No hay guías dentro del museo en español 3. Organizarse bien porque es muy grande y en una mañana no tendrás tiempo a ver todas las salas
Visita obligada
El museo es espectacular. Bien distribuído, la audioguía es práctica y se pueden ver las obras con tranquilidad. Imprescindible si te gusta la pintura flamenca pero también pueden verse muchos detalles que la contextualizan.
Los grandes maestros
Excelente museo con mucha obra de arte de muchos lugares del mundo. Muy bien organizados y con app en tu idioma para seguir el recorrido . Obras de artistas muy reconocidos como Rembrandt, Rubens, etc. Muy recomendable.
Infaltable en viaje a AMS
Primordial entrar en la web y separar la fecha de viaje o visita al museo al menos con 6 u 8 semanas antes para tener espacios adecuados. El guia es muy importante ya que van a poder conocer detalles unicos que al recorrer con auto guia o solo no se conoce. Lo recomiendo vale la pena. El museo tiene excelente ropero para guardar ropa, paraguas, baños limpios y un bar y restaurante de primera. Vale la pena separar 1 dia para el museo
Más que buen arte
Una maravillosa experiencia. Tomamos muchas fotos. Puedes agendar visita guiada o usar el dispositivo para la gira. Además, si escaneas el código QR, puedes escuchar la gira en tu dispositivo y ahorras. Los baños son limpios, hay guarda ropa. El café tiene cositas deliciosas.
Un museo imprescindible en Ámsterdam
El Rijksmuseum es un museo imprescindible si visitas la ciudad de Ámsterdam. Es conveniente sacar la entrada por adelantado, y para su visita hay que considerar un tiempo estimado que oscila entre 2 y 3 horas. Las obras que alberga son una verdadera maravilla, destacando "Ronda de noche", "Los síndicos de los pañeros" o "La lechera".
Museo espectacular
Uno de los mejores museos del mundo con infinidad de obras de renombre donde destacan obras de Rembrand, Goya, Rubens... entre muchos otros. Ideal para pasar toda la mañana.
Inmenso en todos los sentidos
Museo muy amplio y lleno de variedad porque nos encontramos arte, artesanía y por supuesto historia. Cuenta con obras de pintores neerlandeses y también de otros países, nos encontramos con un Goya, creo que sólo había uno. También alberga bastante s obras del maestro Rembrandt. Para poder ver La lechera, de Johannes Vermeer, tuvimos que hacer cola por la gran cantidad de gente que se agolpaba a su alrededor. El museo es muy completo ya que hay expuesto mobiliario, vajilla, porcelana... Se necesita casi un día para poder verlo. En nuestro caso fueron 5 horas para poder verlo entero y sin mucha pausa, de lo contrario no llegas a su totalidad
Gran museo
Un gran museo, grandes obras, muy organizado. Se lo puede disfrutar. Todo es muy bello, desde el contenedor y todo su contenido
Padrísimo Museo
Un museo muy completo, muy variado, me encantó, si te lleva toda la mañana, tiene audio guía muy fácil de usar nos encantó
Museo de referencia
Un gran museo general europeo, centrado, como es lógico en las grandes obras pictóricas holandesas. Rembrandt tiene una gran atención y hay obras de Vermeer o Hals o Steen icónicas. Uno de los museos indispensables si se visita Amsterdam.
Muy buena muestra
El museo está muy bien presentado y el edificio es imponente. Es un tanto difícil seguir el orden de las salas por número y algunas obras plásticas no estaban en ese momento
Good couple of hours worth
very enjoyable and informative couple of hours, not only paintings but interesting history too, learned lots I didn't know about the colonial past of the Netherlands
Excellent!
We booked tickets on a rainy day and are glad we went to this museum. It was fabulous to see so many beautiful pieces of art work and the restoration process going on with the Night Watch painting. Seeing the beautiful library was incredible. Remember to be quiet as you enter the area. The doll house collection is incredible with the details in each room. Highly recommend this museum if you get the chance. They have a nice gift shop in the museum area too.
Family tour was so much fun!
We booked the private family tour, and Hugo was absolutely amazing with my kids (ages 10 and 8). It was fun and interactive. We all learned so much, and he kept my kids engaged for a solid 1.5 hours in the museum, which is no easy feat. If you have kids, I highly recommend booking the family tour through the museum (far far in advance). And of course, it is a lovely museum with fabulous art and history to learn!
Must see in Amsterdam: Rijksmuseum
It was incredible to see so many paintings by world's best painters. Nearly too much for one visit, have to go again! An experience that nobody should miss.
Zeer noemenswaardig tentoonstelling Amerikaans fotografie
Prachtige foto tentoonstelling!!! De opzet en ruimtelijke respect voor elk beeld was perfect. Op deze manier wil Ik heel graag meer overzicht tentoonstellingen willen zien van bekende en ook minder bekende fotografen. De suppoosten waren geweldig leuk en de café was absoluut aan te raden.
A beautiful museum with many works.
A very richly endowed museum with extraordinary collections spanning several centuries of the history of Amsterdam, the Netherlands and the former colonies. The building itself is superb. You will need at least half a day to appreciate the works on the museum's four levels. Visit at opening time to fully appreciate the paintings, sculptures and objects.
Artists amsterdam
Great location and large number of famous paintings. Great way to spend an afternoon. Very busy but easy to get to by bus..
Great time at the museum - Rijksmuseum
My mother & I love to travel but we are not keen on visiting museums. Netherlands has a lot of museums, so we decided to pick the ones we wanted to really see. Rijksmuseum was one that we got interested in after going through their website. We reached out to check if we could rent wheelchair & their response was no because wheelchairs are free to borrow! We thought we would spend about an hour or little over but we spent over three hours! There is so much to see. My mother loved the different tea/teapot collection, the ceramics, the locks & keys collection & I just loved how spacious it was. The staff are friendly & more than happy to guide you so you have the best time ever in a museum.
En självklar femma
Kan inte få något annat än betyget 5. Internationell klass! Fullt med klassiska mästerverk. Och en vacker byggnad med en fin trädgård att chilla i vid solsken. Även en bra shop att handla i!
Stunning building and works of art
Fabulous building full of treasures. It was great to be able to see the Surhc master work up close and a particular highlight to see the restoration work in Rembrandts Night Watch. Also fascinating were the miniature doll houses and the replica sailing ship. Well worth a visit!
A very large museum with lovely architecture.
The architecture is impressive and building is huge. Lots of exhibits and a very large area to cover. We selected the 9 am 1st lot and arrived early and was first in queue. Signage was not very clear where the entrances are. It is at a passageway that runs through the building. There is more than 1 entrance there. It was good to appreciate the paintings and exhibits in the first hour but the place began to fill up with visitors quite fast. Honestly, the museum is extremely big and one can take hours to slowly cover all the exhibits, depending on one’s interest. Allocate more time if you enjoy checking out all the exhibits. Tickets can be booked from the museum’s own website or from third parties. Download the app for free commentary about every exhibit. Need to use ear phones.
Majestic exhibition, even too big
This museum is so big and its collections are so diverse that they would probably benefit from being split. People who are interested in Rembrandt's painting do not necessarily want to know about eastern art and/or american photography (and vice versa). That said, all the works are so well classified that one doesn't need an audio guide (thus saving 6,50€). The biggest flaw of the main exhibition is how Rembrandt's masterpiece "The Night Watch" is exposed (i.e. behind a thick reflecting glass which prevents taking good pictures). Still a very good museum, mind you.
Put it on your Museum list.
Yep back after 20 years. Utilised Amsterdam card. Long queues outside. The wait was worth it. The redevelopment of the museum "wow". Only critism is poor signposting to lifts. After traveling early from Liverpool ability to do stairs was limited. The restaurant especially the new cake celebrating 750th anniversary of Amsterdam beautiful. The gift shop very expensive is only real negative.
Well woth visiting!
Wow...I wish I had more time. Allow a minimum of 2 hours...we stayed for 3 hours and saw about 70%. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Get the app and bring earbuds for a free 'tour.' Select paintings will have a number that you key into your app to get a deeper dive into the art you are viewing. By no means am I an art connoisseur, but this was a great museum.
Se dovete sciogliere di visitare un solo museo ad Amsterdam e’ questo.
Questa è la terza volta che vengo ad Amsterdam ed è la terza volta che lo visito. La Ronda di Notte ( la Guardia Civica in Marcia) è uno dei miei quadri preferiti e vederlo in fondo alla grande galleria principale toglie il fiato… purtroppo è in restauro con una impalcatura che lo copre. Per il resto le collezioni di mobili , piatti, armi , la sezione delle Compagnia delle Indie Orientali, la pinacoteca sono strepitosi. Non ho visitato il terzo piano e la sezione dell’arte asiatica, ma il complesso è vastissimo.
A must for art lovers
An absolute myriad of paintings dating back to the 17th century. We got in for free on the Go City pass. Surprised by the fact that it was possible to go right up to each painting and take pictures. It’s possible to spend hours there. There’s a nice cafe so you can take a break at any time. Also a nice garden outside and a fun fountain you can get into the middle of.
Lovely Museum!
We loved our afternoon in this museum. I was not prepared for the sheer beauty of its paintings, Delft, doll houses and models! We certainly appreciate art but to think I could have missed this bothers me! There was a King’s Day crowd as we were there Friday before its official Saturday celebration and Amsterdam was crazy. Make sure this is on your list of must-do’s in Amsterdam. Lots of good help finding what we needed and kind people to help you!
Great Museum
Very impressive museum. Only drawback was a lack of signs indicating elevators and stairs. Large display of many great Dutch artists as well as ceramics, military guns, swords, ship models, etc.
Impressive and extensive museum
The Rijksmuseum is an impressive and extensive museum with a lot to see. From Dutch Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer to an array of historical artifacts and beautifully curated exhibitions, the collection is both rich and varied. It's very well organized and presented, making the visit enjoyable and informative. You should definitely plan ahead and reserve enough time to explore everything — there's so much to take in that a quick visit wouldn't do it justice. Overall, a fantastic experience and a must-see if you're in Amsterdam.
Amazing museum!
We spent 4 hours visiting the museum from the bottom to the top floor and had a breakfast break in the museum's coffee shop, which serves plenty of delicious options. The museum itself is quite impressive, and the artwork is mesmerizing. The best part is the mobile app, created by the museum, which gives you free audio and visual tour, helps you navigate this massive museum with ease and learn more about selected paintings through the audio stories narrated in the app. Mandatory to book tickets in advance, online, the entrance gets sold out easily if you don't reserve your slot. Fabulous experience, highly recommended!
immensa
Museo immenso, la galleria del secolo d'oro è meravigliosa, gli spazi sono ampi e si possono ammirare le opere in tranquillità nonostante le numerose persone. all'ingresso si può prendere una piantina per decidere cosa vedere, perché ci si potrebbe passare dentro una giornata. Shop molto ben fornito con prodotti interessanti.
Inspirerend!
Altijd een feest om in het Rijksmuseum te komen! Tentoonstelling was inspirerend, mooie beelden, divers en prachtig opgesteld!
Great art museum
Great art museum. Very large. Plan a lot of time to get through everything. Expect crowds. Lots of great painting from artists like Van Gough and Goya. Well worth seeing. Make reservations ahead of time.
Ok
Nice but way too much to see and when the tour groups turn up…..good luck. The app tour guide is good but not many options to hear
Intense et riche
Deja, l'entrée monumentale donne une idée de ce que 'lon va voir a l'intérieur, mais il faut bien 2H30 3H minimun pour pouvoir tranquillement arpenter les différentes salles du musée Riche expérience, meme en famille qui permet de guider les plus petits vers l'art et tout ce qui en découle
A wealth of information
The museum came recommended to us and it was not hard to see why. We were not prepared for the size of it and the number of paintings by Dutch masters. Not being heavily into art, we chose to pay for the audio guides to add some flesh at what we were looking at, which was a good choice. The museum was very busy and given that the visit was in the week leading up to Kings day, we may well have to return so as to avoid the numbers of people but also allow much more time, as a few hours is just not enough to give the paintings the attention they deserve.
Essentiel
Le musée essentiel d’Amsterdam avec de nombreux courants artistiques et des tableaux exceptionnels. Prévoir du temps. Exposition couplée avec une balade sur les canaux
Un museo davvero variegato!
Un bellissimo museo, ricco di opere d’arte e ben organizzato: da quadri importanti a opere in ceramica, pianoforte, veliero, casa delle bambole e tantissime altre cose. Una visita è obbligatoria per chi soggiorna ad Amsterdam.
Altijd een reis waard zelfs voor een Rotterdammer!
Het was en is prachtig ook het gebouw is zeer fraai . Als een opmerking mag maken dan is het nu ik ouder word een tekort aan goede zitplaatsen.
Da non perdere
Grande e magnifico museo che racchiude la produzione pittorica olandese dal 1100 ai giorni nostri, compresi alcuni quadri di Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Goya, ecc. Conviene acquistare il biglietto online onde evitare code ed accedere direttamente; dal piano interrato dove si trovano il guardaroba, il ristorante e lo shop si diramano le sale suddivise per periodo storico, Le opere sono facilmente fruibili nonostante la grande quantità di visitatori poiché le sale sono grandi e ben organizzate, Meglio prendere una mappa prima di iniziare la visita perché è facile perdersi date le dimensioni dell’edificio.
Lovely museum, rude guests
Lovely museum with variety of works by primarily Dutch artists. Can be tricky to navigate your way around. I do not understand why museums allow pictures to be taken of the art work. I am further perplexed that guests take selfies of art works. I was actually asked to move away from a painting I was studying so a person could take a selfie with it, and I lost it.
Enjoyed our visit
Rijksmuseum is located in a lovely building with easy access to the tram. It's a massive building with so many works of art including the Masters and Dutch history. We spent 6 hours there and couldn't possibly see everything. Save the cost of the audio guide and download the app - it's wonderful! Bring headphones/earbuds. From the app you are able to choose which works of art you want to see or simply follow the app for the 'highlights' tour... and that took us several hours. Get familiar with the app before going to the museum. Seating in galleries is available, but not always when you want it. Rembrandt's Night Watch painting is currently under restoration, but you are able to see it. The reproduction on the wall in the next room is easier to see. We did not take advantage of the cafe, but it was available. Entrance is via security checking bags. Book your tickets before you go to avoid disappointment. A few visitors were quite obnoxious literally walking right in front of us to get close up while we were viewing a painting from only a few steps away. We found some of the museum tour guides had little regard for visitors not in their tour group. They would go right up to paintings pointing out things to their group but being in the way of others just wanting to see a painting. Yes, it's a museum worth visiting - but expect crowds.
Worth
The collections in the museum were extremely impressive and extensive. Works of arts were from different eras. The Dolls houses and library were amazing. The delftware, William rex and Etienne-Maurice Falconet were some highlights in the museum also. Staffs were friendly and helpful. Definitely worth visiting at least 2 hours.
EXCELLENTE VISITE
Excellente visite, dans ce magnifique musée, véritable vaisseau amiral de la culture néerlandaise. Architecture remarquable, parcours agréable avec quelques coups de cœurs, tels que la magnifique bibliothèque, la salle des maquettes navales et l’incontournable Laitière de Vermeer, qui, il faut bien le dire ne laisse pas indifférent. L’orfèvrerie et la marqueterie sont a souligner également. Un musée à faire sans hésiter.
I can't get over my fantastic visit to the Rijksmuseum!
I can't get over my fantastic visit to the Rijksmuseum! I haven't been to the museum in over ten years, as I was living in the United States at the time. However, I have recently visited many museums in the US, France, the UK, Greece, Turkey, and Italy. The new redesign is so well thought out and visitor-friendly. If I can compare it to, say, the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles, which I visited the month before. Though their art is exceptional (for example, Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa'), the user experience is often poor. You feel crammed, overwhelmed, claustrophobic and simply unloved. But the Rijksmuseum is the exact opposite - you feel like they care about you. I never felt hemmed in; I could spend as much time as I wanted looking at even the great masterpieces (like Rembrandt's 'Night Watch' or Vermeer's 'Milkmaid'), and there were plenty of seats for when I felt tired. It's testament to how great the museum is that my usually heavily distracted ADHD son was able to enjoy this museum for almost three hours. I can't say how impressed I am with the Rijksmuseum, which I will definitely visit again the next time I'm in Amsterdam.
