Good to know
The best time to visit the Amsterdam museums is April through May. You’ll have the chance to avoid the massive crowds of tourist crowds that fly in during the summer and enjoy the best weather of the year in Amsterdam. The months of September through November also feature smaller crowds. But, you’ll find that the weather can change in an instant in the fall. Winter is understandably cold; but, the upside is that you can usually find cheap airfare and accommodations. Irrespective of season, the best time of the day to explore the Van Gogh Museum or Rijksmuseum is in the early morning. The wait in the queues is shorter and the galleries aren’t packed like they are around noon. For those who don’t consider themselves morning persons, consider showing up after 3:00 p.m., when many visitors have already gone home. But, don’t forget that most museums halt all admissions at least 30 minutes before closing time.
Getting to the Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh Museum is pretty easy. If you’d like to use Amsterdam’s famed tram system, the closest stops to the Van Gogh Museum are Van Baerlestraat and Museumplein, while Rijksmuseum has its own, dedicated stop. You should have little difficulty pulling off a perfect Amsterdam museum tour by using Tram Nos. 2, 5, or 12. Then again, riding a bicycle is one of the most popular modes of transportation in Amsterdam and represents one of the finer ways to do your Amsterdam sightseeing. And, if you find yourself driving around Amsterdam, then you should considering using the paid Q-Park parking structure below Museumplein on Van Baerlestraat.
