Not sure which ticket to choose?
For most visitors, the standard entry tickets from GetYourGuide or Tiqets are the best choice as they include the official audio guide and allow you to bypass the ticket office queue via the priority lane. Note that in June 2026, the palace is closed for a state visit until June 26th; always verify the official agenda before booking as closures for royal events are frequent.
Booking for a specific date after the June 2026 reopening
Tiqets offers a reliable calendar for selecting dates starting June 26, 2026, when the palace resumes public access after the Japanese state visit.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The main visitor entrance is located on Dam Square, typically via the door on the right side of the front facade. While timed-entry tickets allow you to bypass the ticket-purchase window, all guests must join the mandatory security and bag-scan queue, which is the primary bottleneck during peak hours. Large backpacks, luggage, and umbrellas are prohibited inside and must be deposited in the free cloakroom immediately after security. Because the palace remains an active residence for King Willem-Alexander's state functions, always verify the daily opening status on the official calendar before arrival, as the building can close to the public on short notice for royal events.
- Price: The official adult entry is typically €12.50–€13.50, which includes a multi-language audio guide as standard. Partner rates on this page generally match the official price or include a small service fee for enhanced cancellation flexibility. Visitors under 18, Museumkaart holders, and I amsterdam City Card users qualify for free admission but must still reserve a specific timed entry slot online to guarantee access, as the palace frequently closes for official royal events.
- 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.
