Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

For a standard self-guided visit, compare the Official site, Tiqets and GetYourGuide admission rows that include an audiotour. Check the selected date, starting time and final seller terms at checkout. The audio-guide app is a separate product and does not replace admission; private guided options are for visitors specifically seeking a hosted experience.

Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • The palace is a working royal residence and closes frequently for state events. In June 2026, the palace is scheduled to be closed for state visits from June 9–11 and June 17–19; always verify the official calendar before booking.
  • All visitors must pass through a mandatory airport-style security screening. 'Skip-the-line' or 'priority' tickets only bypass the ticket office queue, not the security check, which can back up during peak morning hours.
  • Strict bag policy

    Only small bags (max 30x30x15 cm) are permitted inside. While a free cloakroom is available, it cannot accept large backpacks, suitcases, or trolley bags; you must use external luggage lockers in the city center for these.

  • Official entry tickets already include a handheld audio guide. Be wary of third-party 'Audio Guide App' offers (often priced around €5.50) as these are digital supplements and typically do NOT include the actual palace admission.
  • Official tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for different dates or time slots once purchased. If you require flexibility, check the specific cancellation terms of partner sellers like Tiqets or GetYourGuide before paying.
  • The I amsterdam City Card is currently not accepted for free entry at the Royal Palace. Museumkaart holders receive free admission but must still reserve a specific time-slot ticket online to guarantee entry.
  • Photography is permitted without flash, but filming, vlogging, and the use of tripods or selfie sticks are strictly prohibited throughout the palace interior.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    The visitor entrance is on Dam Square. Your ticket shows the selected date and starting time; timed entry does not remove venue access controls or security checks. Only small hand bags up to 30x30x15 cm are allowed inside. Larger hand bags can be left at the free cloakroom, but large backpacks and rolling suitcases cannot be stored there; use a city-centre locker instead. Umbrellas, scooter helmets and back carriers are not allowed, while wheelchairs, rollators, prams and walking sticks are permitted. Check the official agenda before travelling because opening days and times can change.

  • Price

    The official adult total is €13.50 and includes the audiotour. The visible Tiqets and GetYourGuide entry rows also show €13.50, while other rows are separate products such as an audio-guide app or guided/private tours. Compare the final checkout total, selected date and inclusions before paying. The I amsterdam Card is not valid at the Palace.

  • Discounts

    As of June 2026, admission is free for visitors under 18, Museumkaart holders, and ICOM members; however, all free-entry visitors must still reserve a specific timed-entry slot online in advance. Students and CJP holders are eligible for a reduced rate (typically €9) with valid ID. The I amsterdam City Card is not accepted. Because the palace is a working state building, it may close on short notice; always verify the calendar before booking.

  • Timing

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the Royal Palace always open to the public?

No, it is an active official residence of King Willem-Alexander. The palace closes frequently for state visits, award ceremonies, and royal receptions; always verify the official calendar for 'closed' dates before purchasing a non-refundable ticket.

Do I need to pay extra for the audio guide?

No, a handheld audio guide is included in the standard admission price for all visitors. It provides essential context for the Citizen's Hall and the various galleries, available in English, Dutch, and several other major languages.

Can I enter with a Museumkaart or I amsterdam City Card?

Yes, both cards are accepted for free entry. However, you must still reserve a specific time slot online in advance to guarantee admission, as the palace often reaches capacity during peak tourist months.

What is the policy for large bags and strollers?

Security is strict: only small bags (maximum A4 size) are allowed inside. There are no lockers for suitcases or large backpacks on-site, and strollers must be left in a designated unsupervised area near the entrance.

What happens if I arrive late for my timed entry slot?

Entry is generally only guaranteed within your selected time window. While staff may allow a 15-minute grace period, late arrivals during busy periods risk being denied entry without a refund.

Are there 'skip-the-line' tickets that bypass security?

No ticket allows you to skip the security check. 'Skip-the-line' labels on partner sites refer to bypassing the physical ticket office queue; all visitors must still wait in the mandatory security screening line at the Dam Square entrance.
