SoloVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5It is a wonderful museum, with a great collection of paintings. Very interesting, everything was very clean, excellent. It could really use a room for temporary exhibitions by Latin American painters like Benito Ramos Catalan, Pacheco Altamirano, Rafael Cauduro, Iván Olivares Alcalde, Yuki Yamamoto Cortes, Carolina Testart Aguirre, etc., etc. Some of these painters are still alive.SSuzanne T

CoupleVerified booking2 days ago5/5It was a little confusing at first to navigate. BUT if you stay on the same level and make sure you see the one side then cross to the other you may revisit the same rooms but then you know you are going to see the whole floor. Make sure you get a pamphlet in your language at main desk, it shows you the levels but it was still a bit confusing so I just followed my senses n went room to room and within the 2.5 or maybe even 2 hrs I was there I seen all the levels because I did not pause to read everything or I never would have saw everything so instead I pictured everything and most with the tags to read later if it doesn't get misconstrued zooming in but either way I have pictures of pretty much everything but if your a history person plan accordingly and plan to be there a full day or 5/6 hours to allow time to read and navigate the floors the top floor is new age art and I only thought two or three things were cool. I like my old age stuff. All my photos are on Facebook because I found a hack to save phone memory by doing this or I would attach some photos. It was a truly magnificent experience and the intracate details of the items and to think how were they made back then? The craftsmanship , the art detail, I would recommend even a quick walkthrough of floors if you only have an hr or so to spare!! I hope this helps whoever takes the time to read my super long review! :) Peace & LoveBBabette B
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5The Rijksmuseum was definitely worth a visit. The museum app is highly recommended. We didn't find the canal cruise all that exciting. With the combo ticket, it was a bit cheaper overall. It wouldn't have been worth the standard price of €17.50 to us. There was an audio guide recorded in 10 languages, and earphones were handed out as needed.JJane P
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5I planned my itinerary in advance whilst in the UK so Headout was a very useful app to have. I was able to load the tickets into my Apple wallet and had no problem entering the museum earlier than the ticket time. I got reminders of all the activities I booked and was offered discounts along the way. Very helpful.
