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 was impressed by the special collections immediately. The examples of wealth and elite craftsmanship in the past centuries were absolutely unreal to fathom. I also appreciate the acknowledgement that the people of these times and places wouldn't have the wealth they acquired without the sickening slavery and racism their societies thrived off of. Aswell as the depictions of Jesus being a man of color in some paintings

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.

    We saw the beautiful paintings by Rembrant and Vermeer that brought our minds back to our past studies. The museum is very well organized, both for entry/exit and for jacket and bag storage.
