Group visits
Are you planning to visit the Rijksmuseum with friends, family or colleagues? Or would you like to book a group visit as a guide or tour operator, or for a company outing? Discover all the options for your visit here.
Good to know
You can book for several groups at the same time. But in the museum your group may consist of up to 15 people, whereby a child also counts as 1 person. With a tour guide, the total number of people is 16.
If you book for 12 guests or more, you’re eligible for our “fast lane access”. This could allow you to skip the queue for the entrance. Please register yourself and your group at the entrance on the side of the café. Our colleague will then check if and when you could skip the queue.
EXPLORE AND DISCOVER
You’re welcome to explore the Rijksmuseum with friends or as a family. Take a museum guidebook along with you or download the free app with tours and routes. Ask at the information desk for tips on how to get the best out of your visit.
