Best Seller
Overview
The Rijksmuseum, recognized as one of the most visited museums in the Netherlands, remains the largest art museum in the city to this day. This esteemed institution houses an impressive collection of renowned artworks by artists such as Johannes Vermeer, Vincent Van Gogh, and Frans Hals. Following a decade-long renovation project, the museum was re-inaugurated by Queen Beatrix in 2013. It is situated in Amsterdam’s Museumplein, the cultural heart of the city. Additionally, the Museum of Stedelijk, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Royal Concertgebouw are also well-known for their excellent concert hall facilities. Purchase your tickets today to explore the marvels of this celebrated Dutch national treasure. The Amsterdam canal cruise serves as an ideal complement to a visit to the Rijksmuseum. During a one-hour tour of the Amsterdam Canal, you will experience the stunning canal belt of the ‘Venice of the North.' This attraction is undoubtedly one of Amsterdam’s highlights, and it is not surprising that the 100km-long canal belt has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
