You may not know the Rijksmuseum by its actual name, but as "the building behind the ‘I am Amsterdam’ sign”. The museum is home to many pieces of art both from Dutch painters and others. Its most famous resident is by far Rembrandt's impressive "Night Watch." Be sure to wander around to find pieces from Vermeer, van Dyck, and Jan Steen. The Rijksmuseum is huge and it will likely take you a full day to see their massive collection of Dutch antiques, prints, sketches, and photography. There is also a nice café in the museum with awesome apple pie if you’re flexible with your budget.
This Museum was once the home of the Frank family while they were in hiding and where Anne Frank wrote her infamous diary. The museum is very well done and not only honors the Frank family, but all of the victims of the Holocaust. If you are spending more than 24 hours in Amsterdam, the Anne Frank Museum should definitely make it onto your ‘to do’ list. Since the hiding space was very small, only a limited number of people can go in at a time. Therefore, to save time and guarantee that you see the Anne Frank Museum, your best option is to buy a ticket with a specific date and time in advance, preferably a few months before your visit. If you decide to buy a timed ticket, then it will not be included as a free museum with the Museumkaart.
Dutch artist Van Gogh is possibly the most popular and most recognized artist in the world. This museum has the largest permanent collection of his works, including sketches and letters, which attracts approximately 1.6 million visitors each year! The museum is organized into the five different stages of Van Gogh's life and artwork: The Netherlands, Paris, Arles, Saint-Remy, and Auvers-sur-Oise. The museum also includes art from other Impressionists and Postimpressionists. If you feel like creating a “museum tour” during your stay, the museum lies in what is called Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter, and it’s only a short walk from the Rijksmuseum. The website recommends that if you are traveling to Amsterdam during the summer months and would like to enjoy Van Gogh's works, then you should buy a ticket online to skip the line.

Surprisingly, the Dutch and Russians have a long-standing relationship. On tsar Peter the Great's journey westward, "Great Embassy," he visited Amsterdam and was impressed by the Dutch businesses and dyke system. Since the area of present-day St. Petersburg was muddy and swampy prior to being developed, the city was built with the aid of the Dutch. In return, Amsterdam now holds the largest collection of Russian cultural objects outside of Russia. The Hermitage Museum organizes its museum around a particular theme that its exhibitions are centered around for up to two years.
