Experiencing Amsterdam also means visiting the numerous sights and museums. Our highlight today was certainly the Rijksmuseum, which was quick and easy to get into with a ticket reservation! Make sure you allow 4 hours for this so that you have enough time to take in all the sights. We were there early, before 11.00 a.m., when it is still relaxed and less crowded, the masses only arrive in the afternoon, when it gets quite full. Then over to the MOCO Museum: Banksy, Warhol and co. A great end to the day!

We got smoothly past ticket control at the Rijksmuseum and were there early enough to quietly enjoy the beautiful collection. We started on the third floor, with the art from after 1950. Highly recommended, you have the rooms with masterpieces almost to yourself! Of course we also descended to the crowd-pleasers on the second floor: Vermeer, Rembrandt.

Of course wonderful collection of art, I was reminded of the Fine Arts course in college at Harvard in the early 1970s. We focused on the Dutch Masters during our visit, but there is much more. I listened to the descriptions on the Rijks app, which enhanced my experience. The app is a nice addition with resources to enhance your visit to the museum.
