Hop-on Hop-off Boat + Van Gogh Museum

Exploring Amsterdam from the water is the best way to do it. And visiting a museum with no equal in the world, is certainly a must-do when you visit Amsterdam. With this combi ticket you can do both these things at a discounted price!

The City Sightseeing Amsterdam boat will take you on a tour of the UNESCO World Heritage canals of Amsterdam, with stops at some of the must-visit locations in the city. Over the course of 24 hours you can hop-on and off as you please to make your own ultimate Amsterdam city trip. On board the boat you can listen to an audio guide to learn more about the city and the canals, and you'll have access to free WiFi so you can share your experience with friends and family and track your location in the city in our app.

The Van Gogh Museum has the largest collection of works by the famous artist in the world, including 200 paintings, 500 drawings and 750 letters. Together with works by his contemporary, such as Rodin, Monet and Seurat, the museum gives you the chance to get to know Vincent van Gogh in a way no other museum can. Among the many pieces on display are Sunflowers (1889), Almond Blossoms (1890) and The Potato Eaters (1885).

  • Multiple stops along the canals
  • The world’s largest collection of Van Gogh's work
