The Rijksmuseum is can be found in between the Stadhouderskade and Museumplein. Both sides can be reached by walking or cycling under the museum’s main entrance through beautiful historic arches.

It is the largest and most important museum in the country, and houses a vast collection of Dutch art and artifacts from the Middle Ages to the present day. Big works of famous Dutch painters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Hals are displayed here, the most well known is de Nachtwacht (translated called ‘’the Nightwatch’’). What I love most about this museum, next to the art. is the exterior with beautiful architecture as well as the interior details. So pretty and diverse. The museum also hosts a variety of temporary exhibitions and events throughout the year.

On the Museumplein there are many other museums also worth a visit, for example the van Gogh museum and the Stedelijk museum, just take your pick and you can fill a whole week with all the city's museum visits if you want.
