Simon SaintMarch 21, 2015Get here early and buy tickets online, they can scan your phone so you don't have to print them!
Kayode YussufApril 24, 2015Take a picture at the I AmSterdam square, it's free and a visit to amsterdam is incomplete without this picture
Jose LopezFebruary 9, 2015It's huge and beautiful !! The building the inside ... Everything!! However tickets are a bit expensive.
Felix DasilvaApril 30, 2013Love it. Can't get enough if it! Most definitely one of the very best museums in the entire planet.
Peter ChristiansonAugust 3, 2016World class museum. If you go to the cafe, try a slice of sugar bread with a jenever.
Brian DammeirAugust 21, 2016Best museum in Amsterdam. Best in the winter when the tourist horses are gone.
mark harveyAugust 18, 2016Mostly Dutch paintings and history, I wonder why? No path to complete the museum, very easy to have no sense of where you have and haven't been
Janet CheungSeptember 1, 2014Massive area and lots to see go early as it closes early and look out for I am Amsterdam sign.
Beatriz BremerJuly 16, 2019An amazing experience in Amsterdam. The building itself it’s a masterpiece.
Iain-Peter CamachoJanuary 14, 2015Don't worry about the audio tour or the book. Walking through and enjoying is all you need!
Christelle FossiDecember 30, 2015Great museum with a lot of style. I though the "la laitiere" of Vermer was bigger.
Arina ArinaAugust 11, 2013Check out the small collection of engravings in the Middle age section. They have amazing works of Dürer as well !
Witek BartnikJuly 17, 2013This museum is absurd. Watch out for: elevators taking you out of the museum,divided floors forcing you to double back a few condignations, one-way doorways and so on. Veermer is very nice though.
Ayca MutuApril 21, 2014You'll need to change your Holland pass ticket with the museum ticket in order to enter the museum. So, yes, there is no skip-the-line
Mike RMarch 21, 2016Get there early, preferably as it opens at 9:00 to avoid the crowds. Otherwise visit on one of late evening openings
Hands-down my favourite museum in Amsterdam. So much to see.
Derek LawMarch 23, 2018Get the mobile App - it knows where you are in the museum and can guide you around.
Andreas BaaschOctober 25, 2013VVM Attorneys Johannesburg - Standards set the bar for everything worth achieving and having in life. Lawyers, most of all, know this firsthand, personally and professionally. Read more
AlbrechtAugust 25, 2015All the Masterpieces are in a central room (Nightswatch, etc..). Doing only this hall will save you time
DinaOctober 14, 2015Impressive museum! With wi-fi, just download the app for more details and guided tour.
Ozgur TuncayApril 6, 2015You've got to see it with your own eye! Get your ticket advance so won't be queuing for hours.
Daniel GrieveMarch 4, 2016I'd advise against taking your backpack when visiting, as you need to check it in (rather long queue the day I was visiting).- Boon KohApril 21, 2014Buy your ticket online to skip the queue. Download the audio guide in advance to your iPhone or Android. The €5 audioguide device for rent is an iPod Touch!
- Derek LawMarch 2, 2018The phone App is an excellent way to find out more and be guided around the exhibits.
Adam ChestertonMay 1, 2013€5 audio tour is highly recommended, comes on a iPod touch with interactive and 5 preset tours ranging from 45 to 90 mins
Gilles CRUCHONJanuary 25, 2015If you leave your belongings in the cloack room, beware of the queueing time!
- Download the museum app for different tours (includes audio) you can do yourself.
Brendan ElliottJanuary 2, 2018Some stunning art works, got to see the Nights Watchman! You can take pics 👌🏽
Harald Van GastelJanuary 2, 2017The museum is really nice, you can easily spend half a day here. The food at the museum restaurant on the other hand is very disappointing, and expensive, better to avoid...
Frederique MattiMarch 1, 2016Pick an area you like and come back for the rest! Big and extended collection.
Kenny VermeulenFebruary 25, 2014Download the free app and do the virtual tour. Don't forget to read the cards filled with extra info.
