Amsterdam: Van Gogh Museum Entry & 75 minute City Canal Cruise

Amsterdam is best viewed from the water and during this 75-minute canal cruise, you’ll understand why. You’ll experience the best of the historic city center. Discover the city’s top highlights, iconic bridges and the 17th-century buildings lining the canals. You’ll come across new architecture and bridges, showing a historical city that is rooted in history but continues to develop and change. 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.
