Ways to explore: You can book a timed entry ticket, go on an audio guided tour, or join a small-group or private guided tour for a more structured experience.
Guided vs. audio: Audio guides are perfect if you like moving at your own pace and choosing what to spend time on. Guided tours add expert storytelling and historical context, helping you uncover the museum’s key highlights in just 2–2.5 hours.
Queues & access: Timed entry helps manage crowds throughout the day. Small group and private guided tours include skip-the-line access, though everyone must go through mandatory security checks, which can take 10–15 minutes depending on the crowd.
Languages available: Audio guides are offered in more than 10 languages. Live guided tours are available in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
Combo tickets: For a classic Amsterdam experience, pair your Rijksmuseum visit with an Amsterdam canal cruise, or combine it with nearby attractions like the Diamond museum or Stedelijk Museum.
Best upgrade: A small-group guided tour is the easiest way to see the museum’s highlights without feeling rushed. You get skip-the-line entry, a curated route, and direct interaction with an expert guide in a group of no more than 10–15 people.

What to expect at the Rijksmuseum?
1/5
Enter through the Grand Atrium
Walk through the main entrance on Museumplein and step into the Netherlands’ national museum. The grand atrium immediately draws you in with its stunning architectural details, offering a striking introduction to over 8,000 artworks that span Dutch history and the Golden Age.
Begin your gallery journey
Start with the Gallery of Honour, home to masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Frans Hals. From there, explore the upper floors and adjoining galleries, featuring historical sculptures, and decorative arts.
Discover key highlights
Move through thematic rooms across four levels to admire Dutch Golden Age paintings, portraits, and sculptures. The floors are arranged chronologically with the main atrium on Floor 0, the Gallery of Honour on Floor 1, and progressively later artworks on Floors 2 and 3.
Courtyards and scenic pauses
Take a break in the museum’s courtyards, including the Atrium and the Philips Wing. These open-air spaces feature cafés, espresso bars, and a garden house in summer, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the museum’s architecture.
Exit and optional extras
Conclude your visit through the museum’s exit halls. If you’re up for more sightseeing, extend your day with optional experiences such as small-group guided tours, canal cruises, or combo tickets with the Stedelijk Museum and Diamond Museum.
Things to know before booking your Rijksmuseum tickets
Booking window: Booking your Rijksmuseum tickets online in advance is the easiest way to secure your preferred time. If you’re visiting during peak season, make sure to book at least two weeks ahead, as guided tours fill up quickly in summer.
Ticket types: There’s a ticket for every kind of visit. Choose a standard entry ticket, join a guided tour with an audio guide, book a small-group tour, or go for a combo ticket that adds nearby attractions. Each type offers something slightly different, from expert commentary to extended museum experiences.
Entrances and queues: All visitors enter through the main Museumplein entrance and must go through a mandatory security check. Some guided tours skip the ticket counter queue, but security screening still applies.
What’s included: A standard ticket grants access to all public galleries, the permanent collection, and other exhibitions. Guided tours include the same access with the bonus of expert insight and little-known stories.
Combos: If you want more in a day, consider a combo ticket. These let you pair your museum trip with nearby attractions like the Stedelijk Museum or Diamond Museum.
Policies: Tickets are non-transferable, so make sure to bring an ID that matches your booking. Each ticket grants a single entry at your assigned time, and re-entry is not allowed.
Confused which ticket to choose?
If you want to make the most of a single day in Amsterdam, grab a combo ticket for entry to the Stedelijk Museum or Diamond Museum. Want a more relaxed pace? Add a scenic 1-hour canal cruise. It’s an easy way to enjoy multiple highlights with just one ticket.

If joining a Rijksmuseum guided tour, check in advance whether commentary is offered in your preferred language. Consider pairing it with a themed tour for deeper insight into Dutch art.
