The tickets were easy to purchase for the time slot we wanted and the day we wanted. The tickets were readily accessable on our phone and had no issues in presenting them at the entrance to both museums. The museums were very well laid out and we could have spent so much more time exploring especially in the Rijksmuseum. Alas there were not enough hours in the day to see it all. So there is more to explore the next time we are in Amsterdam.

Very crowded museum even though the entrance is regulated by selling tickets by time slots. A lot of people taking pictures of almost every painting and taking selfies with paintings (even worse type of visitors). I am positive that more people going to museums and being exposed to art is globally a good thing, but am still wondering why some of them came. And their attitude and numbers are not good for "normal visitors" to enjoy, absorb, have proper concentration and perception of art. Museums certainly are not for crowds. They are silent and sacred places for those who really love and anderstand art.

Good thing we booked in advance because everything was sold out. The only downside was that the booking stated audio guides were included, whereas the app listed them as paid... in the end, we had to pay for them.

It was an inspiring experience for our family. We could see not only the brilliance of an artist but also his vision and mission of his life. Artist painted and sketched not only his feelings but also gave an insight of rural life with their hardships and struggles. Truly an eye opener for all of us .

Booking the digital tickets was hassle-free, and visiting the Van Gogh Museum was a highlight for me. There was a pleasant number of visitors, the presentation of the paintings was excellent, and overall it was a cultural highlight of my vacation. Best regards.

Explore the Van Gogh Museum with timed entry, flexible self-guided access, and optional upgrades like audio guides, walking tours, and canal cruises.

Getting started

Arrive at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and have your ticket ready for your selected entry time. Follow the signs to the entrance, pass through the security check, and scan your mobile or printed ticket at the turnstiles.

What to expect

Van Gogh Museum

Step into a museum dedicated to the life and work of Vincent van Gogh, with galleries that trace his artistic journey. Move at your own pace as you explore the permanent collection, using your ticketed entry slot to avoid general on-the-day queues.

Features:

Follow Van Gogh's development across different periods of his career, viewing his paintings, drawings, and personal artefacts arranged to highlight changes in style and technique.

Use your self-guided Van Gogh Museum tour to set your own pace, spending more time in the sections or themes that interest you most.

Benefit from timed entry to the Van Gogh Museum, which manages visitor flow inside the building during your selected time slot.

Beyond the core Van Gogh collection, the museum also hosts rotating temporary exhibitions that expand on themes of art, history, and influence. During specific dates, you can access curated shows that connect Van Gogh's legacy with other artists and contemporary perspectives. Access all eligible exhibitions included with your ticket type, so you can explore both permanent and temporary displays in a single visit.

Use your self-guided visit to move between the permanent Van Gogh galleries and temporary exhibition spaces in any order you prefer.

Extras

Canal cruise: Pair your museum visit with a classic Amsterdam canal cruise. You can see the city from the water either before or after your time in the museum, depending on how you plan your day. Use an audio guide in up to 19 languages on the canal cruise, with commentary on the highlights along the route.

Guided museum tour: Choose the guided tour option for a 2-hour visit led by an English-speaking guide, with skip-the-line entry and headsets included.

Wrapping up
