AptravelerMay 20, 2019Get your ticket online a head of your visit...unless you want to stand in a long line like this one! 😲
Kelly K.July 12, 2016Awfully crowded but the works of art displayed makes it all worthwhile. Best to get the audio guide.
The home of Rembrandt's Night Watch, but also numerous other great artworks like Alma Tadema's Death of the Firstborn and Vermeer's Milkmaid
💫December 11, 2022Lovely museum with many different collections! 💓 Must visit for art and history lovers! Skip the audio guide
Avoid the crowds: Buy a ticket online. Go at 8:45am. Immediately walk up to the Nachtwacht, then the great hall behind it, then the west wing, then down.
Lily JMarch 20, 2012Unbelievable collection of Rembrandt and Vermeer. There are also many other stunning objects of art from other dutch artists. Get a Holand Pass and skip the long lines.
Kitt HodJune 19, 2018The mobile app is incredibly well done! Buy tickets via the app and skip all the lines!
Evgenii LMay 5, 2017Nice museum with a lot of nice things and paintings. A bit crowded. Minimum 2 Hours are needed for it.
kate gMay 31, 2015Book in advance to avoid the queues, and definitely spend time in the museum grounds as well. It's a beautiful building.
Sergey KuznetsovAugust 23, 2015Great museum. Even if you don't know much about art, they offer an explanation for almost every painting. I left educated :)
Christopher CamargoAugust 21, 2013A great museum but get there early. At 10 AM on a Tuesday I walked right in. By Noon, there was a line around the building just to get to the queue to purchase tickets.
Nicky WormhoudtFebruary 29, 2016You should defenitely see Rembrandt's Nachtwacht while you're at Rijksmuseum, most beautifull painting ever!

- Forget about getting an audio tour: just download the Rijksmuseum app for Android and iPhone. It not only gives you more in-depth commentary, but also allows you to bookmark things you like.

Ihar IvanouApril 28, 2019The collection is great and is easy to be explored with an excellent free audio guide app. Bring your own headphones.
Jack JenkinsAugust 19, 2013In the week, if you arrive before 10.30am, then you'll manage to cut a HUGE amount of queue time. We got here at about 10am and had a stress free, great morning there.
Cenker KöseJanuary 8, 2015You don't need to pay the 5€ to rent a audio guide device, if you have and iphone/ipad! Just download the Rijksmuseum app on the Store!- pieter vNovember 2, 2015Amazing! The original wall paintings are showing again! Painting De Nachtwacht is positioned perfectly. Buy a magnet in the store

Laura MkrtchianJune 11, 2015nice place to visit and it will lead you to Van Gogh museum as well as to I Amsterdam famous place
Marie-Eve WardMay 22, 2013Would recommend the media tour where you get audio for paintings. When there's too many people standing in front of it, it can be hard to get to the little sign that explains the painting.Only 5 euro!
FuriousmateSeptember 29, 2015The audio guide (5 euro; as of Sep 2015) - it's a smartphone-like visual & audio device, just rent one and share with your company because you could always play it back during your visit.
No4emi GVJanuary 5, 2018It’s really big and the building itself is beautiful. There are many important art pieces to see but the price is a bit high.
Joaquim VieiraFebruary 6, 2024More several paintings worth to see , specially Night Watch from Rembrandt (safe mechanism for the painting in case of fire/thief)
Colin M. FordMarch 11, 2018One of the best museums in the world, and their recent renovation only made it better. Must. See.

Leonardo Tiberius ⛵April 23, 2019There are portable chairs you can check out and carry with you so you can sit in front of the paintings to enjoy them.
Carmen TattoJanuary 4, 2013Amazing! The best thing is that the museum is not that large than museums like Louvre. So, you can look and explore all session without feeling tired.
