Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingFor a quieter visit, choose a weekday morning or late afternoon; Van Gogh Museum visitor-flow guidance identifies both periods as less crowded than peak times. High season, especially summer, is busier, and opening hours may be extended on the busiest days, so match your timed entry to the current hours shown for your visit date.
EntranceUse the main entrance on Museumplein for regular visits; the group entrance is at Paulus Potterstraat 7. Have your valid ticket ready for admission, and travel light: suitcases, travel luggage, and objects larger than 45 × 25 × 25 cm are not permitted, while umbrellas, backpacks, and other large items cannot be taken into the galleries. Group visitors should note that luggage cannot be stored in the cloakroom.
PriceThe official benchmark shown is €25 for “Adults.” Partner options shown range from €27 for entry to €51–€239 for audio, guided, and private-tour products, so the prices are not directly comparable. Check the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
DiscountsVisitors under 18 can enter free, but each child still needs a ticket reserved for a selected date and time. Children under 12 must visit with an adult, and visitors using a youth ticket may be asked to show proof of age at the entrance. EU/EEA students can book the reduced student ticket and must bring valid student identification. Museumkaart holders, ICOM members, Stadspas holders, Vereniging Rembrandt members and eligible pass holders must reserve a free ticket and bring both the relevant card and their e-ticket. Visitors who cannot navigate the museum independently may bring one companion free of charge with a companion ticket.
Planning your visit
Van Gogh Museum at Museumplein 6 presents the life and work of Vincent van Gogh through a collection of around 200 paintings, more than 500 drawings and almost all of his letters. Older references may use the synonym Rijksmuseum Vincent van Gogh, while the permanent collection includes Sunflowers, The Potato Eaters, Almond Blossom, The Bedroom and Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat. The galleries place these works within Van Gogh’s development toward Post-Impressionism and his relationships with Theo van Gogh and Paul Gauguin.
The museum’s permanent collection also includes a Japanese prints collection that helps explain the influence of Japanese art on Van Gogh’s compositions. A multimedia audio guide adds commentary on the artist and his working methods, while a timed-entry ticket sets the date and arrival time for admission. An online ticket reservation is required for each visitor, including visitors aged under 18 who receive free admission.
The museum is at Museumplein, near the Museumplein tram stop; Tram 2 and Tram 12 serve this museum-quarter area. The building is wheelchair accessible, with lifts connecting the floors, and wheelchairs and walking aids available on request. The cloakroom and lockers point matters for luggage: the museum states that luggage cannot be stored in its cloakroom, so avoid arriving with large bags.
The I amsterdam City Card includes public transport and participating attractions, but Van Gogh Museum admission still requires a valid ticket. Skip-the-line entry does not remove the museum’s timed admission and security requirements, so a standard timed ticket is usually enough when your priority is seeing the collection rather than joining a hosted visit.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Van Gogh Museum tickets are valid only on the selected date and time, so arriving outside the booked slot can put admission at risk.
- Official Van Gogh Museum tickets are non-refundable; changing plans may therefore mean losing the ticket value.
- Every visitor needs a valid entrance ticket, including children and visitors using a discount or museum card; eligible visitors must bring the supporting card or proof of age.
- Do not count on storing large luggage at the museum: the Van Gogh Museum states that luggage cannot be stored in its cloakroom.
- Security and house rules still apply even when a product is marketed as skip-the-line: umbrellas, liquids and food are not allowed inside the Van Gogh Museum.
- A skip-the-line or guided product does not guarantee admission if the ticket was not issued by the Van Gogh Museum or an authorised reseller.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Do I need a mobile ticket and a time slot for Van Gogh Museum?
Yes. Each visitor needs a valid ticket, and tickets are valid only on the selected date and time. Keep the e-ticket on your phone and bring any required discount or age-verification card.
Can I cancel or get a refund for a Van Gogh Museum ticket?
Official tickets are non-refundable. For partner bookings, cancellation and refund rules depend on the specific listing, so read those terms before paying.
Is it better to buy from the official site or a partner?
The official Adults ticket is €25, while the supplied partner entry ticket is €27. Choose the official option for the direct benchmark price; a partner option may still suit you if its availability or booking format is more convenient, but check the final checkout total and inclusions.
What bags can I take into Van Gogh Museum, and is there a security check?
Backpacks, umbrellas, larger bags and other large objects must be left at the cloakroom, and Van Gogh Museum has no lockers. Do not bring liquids or food into the museum; admission or security checks can still take time even with a timed ticket.
What happens if I arrive late for my time slot?
Your ticket is valid only for the selected date and time, so late admission is not guaranteed. Contact the ticket seller or Van Gogh Museum as soon as possible if transport delays threaten your arrival.
Do children and free or reduced-price visitors still need a reservation?
Yes. Visitors under 18 have free entry but still need their own valid ticket for a selected date and time. Students and other reduced-price visitors should bring the required proof or discount card, which may be checked at the entrance.
What is the main bottleneck inside Van Gogh Museum?
The main constraint is the timed admission flow: everyone needs a valid ticket for a specific time, and security and bag handling can add steps before entry. Large bags are not accepted for storage, so travel light to avoid delays.
