Why stop here?

Museumplein is Amsterdam’s cultural heart. The HOHO stop places you within walking distance of the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk. It's perfect for a half-day or a cultured afternoon.

Timing and order

Morning: Start at the Rijksmuseum for smaller morning crowds. Reserve the first entry slot.
Midday: Walk to the Van Gogh Museum; pre-book timed-entry tickets.
Afternoon: Coffee on the square and a stroll through Vondelpark.

Pairing tips

Combine with a canal-boat leg arriving from Central Station to save walking time.
Bring a museum pass if you plan to visit multiple paid museums — HOHO + museum pass can be cost-effective.
