It was a frantic rush to arrive on time for our reserved time slot. Just admiring the magnificent building that houses the museum was a treat in itself. The sun peeked through the clouds, which a warm breeze was trying to blow away. The immense lobby was packed with people, after a quick pass through the attendants checking QR codes and… even my purse! Finally, the stunning second floor: Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and above all, Vermeer… plus the Bride’s House, the Delft pottery, and the historic library. I’m overwhelmed by all this art!!!

Visiting the Rijksmuseum was one of the highlights of my trip to Amsterdam! The museum is absolutely breathtaking, from the magnificent building itself to its extraordinary collection of Dutch masterpieces. Seeing works by Rembrandt and Vermeer in person was unforgettable. Every gallery feels beautifully curated, and you could easily spend hours exploring. A truly world-class museum and an absolute must-see when visiting Amsterdam!

After seeing the lines of people waiting to get tickets to this magnificent museum, we used Headout to procure tickets for the following day. The website was easy to navigate to purchase tickets and the best part, the very next day we just walked right in RIJK. No lines, no waiting; we just enjoyed countless pieces of amazing art.

Amazing place! Well worth the entrance fee. Only had to wait in line for a few minutes. Many great artworks by famous names and artists less well known. Nice cafe with good food and friendly service. Very good gift shop. Highly recommended!

Our guide's enthusiasm for the artwork, and his back stories on each painting we observered. He enjoyed the challenge of the questions we asked and provided us with an excellent museum overview for our own explorations after.

The welcome and organization were wonderful. I loved all of Van Gogh's paintings, and the magnificent painting 'The Milkmaid' by Wermer. Bravo, Holland!

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is definitely worth a day of your vacation, there is so much to see; the building alone is worth a visit. Aside from that, the "contents" of the museum with old masters like van Gogh, Rembrandt, Hals... The porcelain and weapons exhibitions, furniture, and other interesting details are well worth seeing!!!

Loved the space - plenty of room to view Rembrandt & Vermeer paintings. Sorry yet again not to see The Night Watch except through glass - we came last time to big Rembrandt exhibition and it was being cleaned - hopefully will be 3rd time lucky
