Description

Discover Amsterdam from both the water and one of the world's finest museums with this combination ticket, including a 1-hour canal cruise and skip-the-line entry to the Rijksmuseum.

Sail through the city’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed canal ring and admire the elegant canal houses from the Dutch Golden Age, spot historic churches like the Westerkerk, and glide under charming bridges including the famous Magere Brug. Sit back and relax on this 1-hour canal cruise that takes you along some of the historic waterways.

After your cruise, explore the legendary Rijksmuseum, home to masterpieces by the Dutch Masters of the 17th century, including Rembrandt's The Night Watch and Vermeer's The Milkmaid. Housed in a magnificent historic building, the Rijksmuseum is a masterpiece in its own right, with breathtaking architecture, grand halls, and beautifully restored galleries that are just as impressive as the world-famous collection they contain.
