Highly recommend grabbing these tickets Van Gogh
Me and the missus booked this so we didn't wait in the huge line outside. Worked brilliant, walked straight past everyone and right in. The audio machine thing was easy to use and told us cool stuff about the paintings. Really loved seeing the sunflowers with my own eyes. Saved us heaps of time and hassle. Good day out for couples if you like art
Operator response
Thanks for the great recommendation! We’re really pleased that the smooth entry helped you make the most of your time at the Van Gogh Museum. It’s also fantastic to hear that the audio guide added extra context to the artworks and made seeing Sunflowers in person even more memorable. Glad we could help make your day easy, enjoyable, and hassle-free!

For me an absolute must in Amsterdam and also absolutely problem-free and enriching for solo travelers
I visited the Van Gogh Museum during my solo city trip week in Amsterdam and am still totally touched. Since I was traveling alone, I was a bit worried that it might be stressful in the extremely popular museum among all the people, but it was an unforgettable experience.

Magnificent experience at the Van Gogh Museum, thank you!!
We booked the tickets with the audio guide and it was absolutely worth it.

Even our two children were fascinated by the colors of the paintings. Impeccable organization and very kind staff. Highly recommended for those visiting Amsterdam with their family.
