Where can you buy Rijksmuseum last-minute tickets?
If you are reading this post, most likely, you cannot buy Rijksmuseum tickets on Rijksmuseum’s official websites anymore. The excellent news is Rijksmuseum releases tickets to their official partners every year:
They are the largest and oldest travel agency in Amsterdam.
As the official partner of Rijksmuseum, they offer many different kinds of tickets, like single-entry tickets or combination tickets (great deals).
Tiqets is a Dutch online travel company, also part of the Airbnb investment venture. You can trust this channel to buy tickets while traveling in Amsterdam.
You can even buy the tickets on the day or for the next day on your phone; good user interface and a trustworthy payment system. You can enter the museum with your phone.

Any suggestion of where to go next?
Visit other museums on the same day
Rijksmuseum is at the Museumplein, where you can find other museums, like the Van Gogh Museum, Moco Museum, and House of Bols. They are close to each other; visiting them on the same day is time-efficient.
We highly recommend Moco Museum, where you can enjoy art pieces from world-famous artists like Banksy, Yayoi Kusama, etc. It’s worth a visit.
Take a canal cruise tour from Rijksmuseum
You might feel tired after visiting the museums; it’s the best time to take a canal cruise and relax on the boat.
We highly recommend taking the canal cruise from Rijksmuseum since it’s less crowded (most people get on at the central station). We had a great time and much better quality!
The best way to enjoy Amsterdam canals is by taking the local small boats, where it’s more relaxing, and this is how Dutch people want it!
