Join a fascinating 120-minute guided tour through one of the most prestigious museums in the world—the Rijksmuseum. Meet your guide 15 minutes before the tour at the Cobra Café at Museumplein, near the parking/toilet entrance. Look out for the orange umbrella! With skip-the-line access, you’ll enter the museum smoothly and begin your journey into the heart of the Dutch Golden Age, exploring the paintings and artifacts that defined an entire era.
Inside the museum, marvel at masterpieces like Rembrandt’s The Night Watch, intricate still-life compositions, and beautifully detailed interiors that showcase the artistic brilliance of the 17th century. Your expert guide will provide context on the rise of the Dutch middle class, and how their influence transformed the art market. Highlights include Vermeer’s paintings, historical weaponry, and an enchanting antique dollhouse sure to capture the imagination.
After the tour, you’re welcome to stay and explore the remaining exhibits at your own pace—your ticket is valid for the entire day. Visit the museum café or shop for a memorable keepsake. Please note that only small handbags or thin backpacks are allowed inside, and in certain rooms where quiet is required, your guide will brief you before entry to ensure a respectful experience for all visitors.
