Best time to visit the Van Gogh Museum

Weekday vs Weekend

#
  • Weekdays are usually your best bet to avoid those long lines at the Van Gogh Museum, which is generally less crowded than weekends. Even so, grabbing your tickets online beforehand is a good idea. During peak tourist times, even weekdays can get crowded, especially in popular areas.
  • Weekends present a vibrant, energetic atmosphere with many art enthusiasts visiting. Ideal for those combining their visit with other weekend activities in the city. However, crowds are significantly larger, especially in the afternoons. Expect potentially longer wait times, even with timed-entry tickets.

Peak season vs low season

#
  • Peak season (June to August): Amsterdam gets crazy busy in the summer. Expect lots of people, higher prices, and warmer weather. The museum hosts special exhibits and events during peak travel months. This also means waiting in line for the Van Gogh Museum might take a while.
  • Low season (November to February): On the flip side, winter is Amsterdam's low season with fewer crowds, better deals, and cooler weather. The museum will be much more relaxed, with shorter lines, giving you more time to enjoy Van Gogh's masterpieces and maybe even some festive cheer!
