i visited the rijks museum last week in amsterdam, it is one of a kind. i am not a person who usually goes to museums and art galleries, but the rijks museums left me speechless. Here you can see the history time line, you can see how renamed artist slowly rose, and the reason behind their cautivating pieces of art, withouth a doubt, the rijks museum is a must when you are in amsterdam, and doing it with headout is also a must, it is easy, accesible, and trustworthy. serve yourself, and enjoy one of the most fabulous and memorable things you will see

The staggering amount of artistic influence in Amsterdam was such a feast for this visit. We chose the Riksmuseum which was a well organized and polished yet uniquely accessible for those who desire to take in the beauty of Dutch Masters. We encountered Rembrandt's famous "Night Watch" which is undergoing restoration as well as jewelry, vestments, Delft blue China, and musical instruments. A truly special visit.

It was quick and easy. We had our day planned in less than a click. Our group of friends made the most of our visit to the museum by enjoying the art and racking up steps on our pedometers. To finish off, we took a boat trip to relax and have a drink, watching the sunset among the canals of Amsterdam. The boat captain was friendly and professional.

It was a wonderful time at both museums. I loved the flexibility and accommodating nature of the staff at Moco so I could really enjoy my visit despite being a little late and having a small suitcase with me which they stored. The art at Moco was beautifully selected and displayed. Rijkmuseum was incredible and initially overwhelming with the amount to see but very easy to navigate and get around. The art was astonishing and the building so beautiful. They staff were ready and eager to help when people needed it. A truly wonderful experience all round. Highly recommend. Needed an hour in Moco and two in Rijks at least.

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!

I really liked this combo, which made it possible to organize a cruise and a visit to the museum over the course of the day, while benefiting from a discount. The tickets were easy to access in the Headout app, and the explanations (location, timetables, etc.) very clear. I recommend this experience! A word of warning, however: the description of the cruise states that it lasts 3 hours, whereas it's actually one hour.

In most this museum is not different than many others, yet we have learned so much about different centuries that apparently we were not aware of. Categorizing the different eras by floors and sections made it easy to walk through time.

Very warm welcome. The museum is very well laid out. Areas for improvement: I couldn't find a book about the painter Verspronck in the museum shop. Not enough posters of the museum's artworks.
