What to expect

Amsterdam is best viewed from the water. On this 75-minute canal cruise, you’ll experience the best of our historical city. It offers you the best views of the 17th-century buildings lining the city canals, and will also show you the 21st-century city that Amsterdam has become. You’ll come across new architecture and bridges, showing a city that is rooted in history but continues to develop and change. You'll be sure to have a great time on board while listening to your personal audio system.

Your visit to Van Gogh Museum: Home to the world’s largest collection of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam transports visitors on a fascinating journey through the life of the artist and his contemporaries. The museum introduces the complete story: the artist, the context, Van Gogh’s personal ambitions, his emotions, the myths that surround him and his influence right up until this very day.

The Van Gogh Museum’s collection includes world-famous paintings such as Sunflowers, Almond Blossom and The Potato Eaters. The museum also organizes three temporary exhibitions every year. The Van Gogh Museum is open 365 days a year. Tickets are available online only, so don’t miss out and book in advance.

    Sorry but having now been to see Van Gogh museum, I actually think I could do better myself. I really don't rate him now as an artist. Not my cup if tea. The boat ride was good but the commentary was dreadful. Monotone and n an American accent.
