Frequently asked questions
How much is the Rijksmuseum ticket?
An adult ticket is about EUR 25 and children under 18 are free. Book a timed slot online, because it is often sold out on the day.
How long do I need at the Rijksmuseum?
Allow two to three hours for the highlights, including The Night Watch, the Vermeers and the Library. A full visit would take a day.
Where is the Night Watch?
The Night Watch hangs in the Gallery of Honour on the second floor, in a special room. Follow the signs for the highlights route.
Is the Rijksmuseum a good rainy-day plan?
Yes. It is large, with a cafe and a garden, and it fits well with the Van Gogh Museum nearby.
