About Amsterdam

In my previous post I promised to tell you about my sightseeing in the south part of Amsterdam. I decided to start exploring the South part visiting Amsterdam’s famous Van Gogh Museum, because I have heard that it is one of the best
attractions in Amsterdam and if you only visit one museum in Amsterdam, this should be the one you pick. Why not to see it with my own eyes?

There are two possible ways to get tickets for the Van Gogh Museum: you can buy them online at the official Van Gogh Museum website or get them in person at the museum. In case you have Amsterdam Museumboat ticket, the Amsterdam Museum Card or the I Amsterdam Card, you can get a good discount on tickets to the Van Gogh Museum and many other museums in Amsterdam. I am planning to buy one of these cards in the nearest future.

The Van Gogh Museum is in Amsterdam’s Oud Zuid (Old South) district, there are also three other cultural highlights which share the Museumplein with the Van Gogh Museum – these are the Rijksmuseum, the Concertgebouw, and the Stedelijk Museum. The hotel receptionist in Hotel Ibis Amsterdam City Stopera (by the way, very good budget Amsterdam hotel. I have stayed there and liked this budget Amsterdam accommodation) advised me to take bus 145 to the Museumplein stop, but I decided to get there by a bicycle instead. Riding a bicycle here is a real pleasure as Amsterdam is very flat. If you don’t have your own bicycle, there are numerous bicycle rental shops everywhere throughout the city.

I have to go now, so… to be continued later on…
