It’s a must to visit!

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is one of the most popular museums in the world, attracting visitors from every corner of the globe. Naturally, this is in large part due to it housing the largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh – more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings and 700 of his letters. Having originally opened on Museumplein in 1973, the Van Gogh Museum has been expanded and modernised over the years, ensuring it's a truly cutting-edge exhibition and visitor space. Superb museum, efficient and well laid out. Must must must book in advance. Turn up, show your ticket, head downstairs, put coats in the lockers, show tickets again to pick up headphones, head up the escalator. The app either takes you to the top 10 paintings or you can explore in your own time and turn a wheel on the app to match the number next to the painting. Best to listen then study the painting. Popular paintings are popular, but there is plenty of space and people move on. Cafe on the 1st floor is the best for food, find a seat, scan the order QR code and the staff will bring your food. Scan the other code to leave a tip! How to get to Van Gogh Museum: The Van Gogh Museum is situated in the Amsterdam's Museum Quarter, between the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum. The museum entrance is at the Paulus Potterstraat 7. It can be reached by tram number 2 and 5 from the Central Station. #myhiddengems #100waysoftravel #traveldiaries
