A travel guide to the best places to visit

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

The Rijksmuseum, which means Imperial Museum in English, is the most important museum of the Netherlands and one of the most visited museums in the world. This national museum is the Dutch counterpart of the Louvre and offers many of the country’s national treasures.

The museum leaves no stone unturned as it takes on Dutch history, historical sculptures, historical weapons and ship models, colonial relics from Asia, paintings like Rembrandt’s Nightwatch, works of Dutch masters like Vermeer, Frans Hals and Jan Steen and much more.

At Meet The Cities we believe this museum is a must-visit for travelers to Amsterdam. It’s majestically located on Museum Square (Museumplein) next to the Van Gogh museum.
