Museumplein puts the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Stedelijk and Moco within a five-minute walk of each other — the densest art square in Europe.
Best for: Smart route
Suggested duration: 4–6 h
Best time: Start before 10:00 to enjoy quiet streets and book key museums for late morning.

Two big museums per day is plenty — eyes get tired faster than legs.
