Having our tickets before we arrived meant we err able to go straight to the exhibits. First stop was the Nightwatch. An emotional moment seeing this great masterpiece. But the museum was more than just the one painting, it was one of the greatest collections I have ever seen. An absolute must must do.

I loved the history that was presented with the paintings. It gave me a deeper appreciation for what the artists were depicting- from family life to outdoor life all those years ago in that part of the world. Plus, I was exposed to artists I hadn't heard of before. Really wonderful artists. But honestly, one of the most special moments for me was the Rembrandt painting which depicted a husband and wife, who was wearing a red dress. It was a tender and beautiful painting. I especially wanted to see it because I believe that this painting was the one that Van Gogh stood in front of for a very long time as noted by observers who saw him there. I stood in front of it too, though probably not for as long as he did. Anyway, it was a lovely experience.

We had a fantastic visit to the NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam! I went with my 13-year-old son, and he absolutely loved all the hands-on experiments. The variety of exhibits is impressive, keeping him fully engaged the entire time. It balances fun and learning perfectly. We ended up spending 6 wonderful hours there, and every minute was worth it. It’s a brilliant place for curious minds of all ages. Highly recommended

A huge museum, with an equally huge selection of paintings ranging from van Gogh to Rembrandt! The same goes for the exhibition of ship models and porcelain! The only minor drawback: the descriptions of the paintings in the online guide were a bit sparse and lacking! The descriptions—and the number of them—could definitely be more detailed and more numerous!

The Rijksmuseum was fascinating, with amazing artwork and rich history, while the canal tour gave a peaceful and beautiful view of Amsterdam from the water. The combination of both made the experience unforgettable.

We visited the museum with two children, ages 7 and 10, and they really enjoyed the activities there; they were entertained all morning. The only downside was that it was very crowded, and we had to wait in line for some things; perhaps they could adjust the number of tickets sold a bit.
