Not sure which ticket to choose?
Official tickets cost €25 for adults (under 18s are free but require a timed reservation) and frequently sell out weeks in advance. Use partner platforms for last-minute slots or flexible 24-hour cancellation policies, and consider guided tours as a reliable 'backdoor' when standard entry is unavailable during the peak June season.
Visitors wanting a classic Amsterdam 'Museum + Canal' experience
Bundles the museum with a canal cruise at a competitive price, often maintaining availability longer than standalone tickets.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: All visitors enter through the modern glass building at Museumplein 6. Arrive 15 minutes before your 30-minute entry window; arriving more than 30 minutes late risks denial of entry. Note that 'skip-the-line' is a marketing term for the mandatory timed-entry system—everyone must join the same security queue, which typically takes 10–20 minutes. To beat the crowds, consider visiting on Friday evenings when the museum stays open late until 21:00. Head immediately to the 'Sunflowers' on the 1st floor or start at the top floor and work downwards. Strictly prohibited: Large bags and suitcases (max 45x25x25 cm); the museum has no storage for oversized luggage, so use nearby 'Lockerpoint' facilities if arriving with travel gear.
- Price: The official adult rate is €22, while visitors under 18 enter for free but must still reserve a €0 timed-entry ticket online. Students (with valid ID) can access a reduced €10 rate, available only for Monday–Friday visits. Partner prices like the €27 Tiqets option include service fees but are essential fallbacks when official slots—which are released on a rolling 4-month basis—are no longer available. Always compare the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
- Discounts: As of June 2026, the Van Gogh Museum enforces a mandatory online-only booking policy with no ticket sales available at the entrance. Every visitor, including those eligible for free admission, must hold a pre-booked timed-entry ticket. Children and youth under 18 enter for free but must reserve a €0 timed-entry slot in advance. Students with valid identification (such as an ISIC card) can access a reduced rate of €10, valid only for visits from Monday to Friday. Holders of the Museumkaart, ICOM, or Rembrandt Card receive free entry but are strictly required to secure a specific time slot online before arrival. Note that the 'I amsterdam City Card' no longer includes admission. Tickets are released on a rolling 4-month basis; visitors must arrive within the 30-minute window indicated on their ticket.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy tickets at the museum entrance on the day of my visit?
No, the Van Gogh Museum does not have a physical ticket office on-site; all visitors must purchase a digital timed-entry ticket online in advance.
Do children and Museumkaart holders need to book a time slot?
Yes, every visitor including those with free admission (under 18s) or discount cards (Museumkaart, ICOM) must reserve a specific €0 timed-entry ticket online.
What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?
The museum typically allows a 30-minute entry window from your start time; arrival after this period may result in denied entry, especially during peak June crowds.
Does a 'skip-the-line' or guided tour ticket bypass the security check?
No, all ticket holders must join the same mandatory security queue; 'skip-the-line' labels refer to bypassing the ticket purchase process, which is already online-only.
Are large bags or suitcases allowed inside the museum?
Only small bags (A4 size or smaller) are permitted; larger backpacks and umbrellas must be stored in the free cloakroom, but the museum cannot store suitcases or large luggage.
Can I get a refund or change my date if I cannot attend?
Official tickets are generally non-refundable and non-changeable; however, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide often includes a 24-hour cancellation policy for a full refund.
What is the best time to visit to avoid the largest crowds?
The museum is most crowded between 11:00 and 15:00; booking the first slot at 09:00 or a late afternoon slot after 16:00 provides a quieter experience near the masterpieces.
