Enter the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam's monumental home of Dutch art and history. Walk the galleries of Rembrandt and other Golden Age masters, with the Van Gogh Museum nearby for a second stop.

📖

Full description

The Rijksmuseum fills a grand 19th-century building in Amsterdam-Zuid with Dutch Golden Age paintings, including works by Rembrandt, plus a wide range of European art and history. Reviewers praise the collection and architecture, though some find the floor plan confusing when moving between periods.

It sits close enough to the Van Gogh Museum that visiting both in one day is realistic. The Night Watch has been undergoing restoration, so check its status.

Allow about two and a half hours at minimum and book ahead, as it draws large crowds.

Reviews

The Rijksmuseum is truly impressive and a must-visit in Amsterdam. The collection is outstanding, with beautiful masterpieces, fascinating history, and stunning architecture. We spent several hours exploring and still felt like there was more to see. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!
