Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Do I need a timed entry ticket?
Yes. Every visitor needs a ticket with a reserved start time, including children and visitors with a card providing free admission. Select your date and time before your visit.
Is an audio guide included?
It depends on the selected offer. Some tickets include recorded commentary; others offer an audio guide as an extra. Check the language and whether the guide is included before paying.
What does museum admission include?
Standard admission includes the permanent collection and current temporary exhibitions. A canal cruise, sightseeing bus or audio guide is included only when stated in your selected package.
Can I buy tickets at the museum?
Tickets are sold online only. Book ahead rather than relying on finding a museum ticket when you arrive.
How long should I allow for my visit?
Allow around two hours as a planning estimate, with more time if you want to explore the exhibitions in detail. Leave extra time before any cruise or bus activity.
Do children need a ticket?
Visitors under 18 have free museum admission but still need a timed ticket. Charges and age categories for additional activities in a bundle may differ.
How do combination tickets work?
Follow the instructions for each part of the booking. Your museum entry has a reserved start time; a cruise or bus may use a different location, departure time or validity period.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Cancellation and amendment rules depend on the selected offer. Read the conditions before paying; do not assume all admission tickets and combinations are refundable.
Does the I amsterdam City Card include this museum?
The standard I amsterdam City Card does not include Van Gogh Museum admission. A separately sold combination must explicitly list a Van Gogh Museum ticket for museum entry to be included.
