Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

For a straightforward July 2026 visit, choose the Official site entry ticket first; use the GetYourGuide entry ticket as a fallback when official availability is limited. Choose the guided tour when expert context and hosted help matter more than the lowest-cost admission option, and remember that a timed ticket or partner voucher does not necessarily bypass security screening.

Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • A start time is required for every visitor, including children and holders of free or reduced-admission passes, so free entry still needs advance planning.
  • A timed ticket or guided-tour booking does not guarantee that you can bypass admission checks or security screening; allow extra time at the entrance, especially during busy July visits.
  • Large backpacks, suitcases, folding bicycles, musical instruments and skateboards are not accepted. Small bags up to A4 size are allowed; larger luggage may require paid storage at the Museumplein Lockerpoint.
  • Outside food and drinks, including water, are not allowed inside, so plan to use the museum café or leave refreshments in your luggage.
  • Re-entry is generally not allowed after leaving the museum, so bring everything you need before passing through admission.
  • The museum is cashless, including its shops and cafés, so visitors need a card or another digital payment method for on-site purchases.
  • A permanent-collection start time does not also cover a temporary exhibition; if you plan to visit one, the Rijksmuseum says you need a separate exhibition start time, booked free of charge.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    At Museumstraat 1, approach from Museumplein and enter The Passage; the two entrances are on your left: stairs → Atrium or lift → Atrium. A timed ticket helps control admission but is not a guarantee of bypassing the entrance queue or other entry procedures, so arrive ready to show your mobile ticket; visitors with a wheelchair, rollator, walking stick or pram should ask security for the lift. Only hand bags up to A4 size are allowed inside; leave larger bags, umbrellas and daypacks at the free cloakroom, and do not arrive with luggage because the museum cannot store it.

  • Price

    The supplied official benchmark for an adult Rijksmuseum entry ticket is €25. The partner rows show €27 for entry and €75 for a guided tour; compare the final checkout total and inclusions carefully, since the guided option is a different product and partner availability is limited.

  • Discounts

    Visitors aged 18 and under can enter free of charge, but they still need to reserve a Rijksmuseum ticket and start time in advance. Museumkaart holders and visitors using other eligible passes also generally need a free timed ticket; companions of visitors with disabilities can enter free but must reserve their own free ticket and start time.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a mobile ticket, and do I need a time slot?

Yes. The Rijksmuseum scans tickets from your mobile phone, so printing is not required. A booked start time is required for most visitors, and it marks when your visit begins; you can stay until closing.

What happens if I arrive late for my start time?

The Rijksmuseum warns that it may not be able to help visitors who miss their start time. For a partner booking, check the seller’s voucher instructions and contact the seller as soon as possible.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

Cancellation and refund rules vary by seller and are not included in the supplied offer details. Check the final checkout conditions before paying, especially for the limited-availability partner tickets.

Should I buy from the official site or a partner?

The official option is the clearest choice when you only need museum admission and want to compare against the museum’s own benchmark. A partner may be useful if its voucher, availability or guided-tour format suits your plans, but compare the final total and inclusions carefully.

What bags can I take, and does timed entry bypass security?

Only hand bags up to A4 size are allowed inside. Daypacks, umbrellas and school backpacks can be left at the free supervised cloakroom, but large luggage and travel bags cannot be stored there; timed entry or skip-the-line wording should not be treated as a guarantee of bypassing security checks.

Do visitors aged 18 and under need a ticket?

Visitors aged 18 and under can enter free, but they still need to reserve an admission ticket and start time. Bring proof of age or any eligibility document requested during booking.

Do free or reduced-price visitors need to reserve in advance?

Generally, yes: free and reduced-price visitors should select the appropriate ticket category and reserve a start time, including Museum Card holders. Friends of the Rijksmuseum and ICOM or ICOMOS pass holders are exceptions to the advance-booking requirement, but should bring their valid pass.

What is the main arrival bottleneck at the Rijksmuseum?

The practical bottlenecks are arriving within your booked start-time window and passing the entrance security process, particularly when the museum is busy. Booking online in advance and arriving with an A4-sized bag or no bag can reduce avoidable delays.
