Museumplein

  Museumplein sits at the heart of Amsterdam, nestled between the famous Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. This expansive public square, designed in the late 19th century, was initially laid out to create a grand space for cultural institutions. Spanning approximately 750 meters in length, Museumplein serves as a vibrant cultural hub and a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike. In December, visitors can experience the festive ice-skating rink that transforms the square into a seasonal wonderland. While exploring, you can also enjoy picnics on the lawns, admire the iconic I Amsterdam letters, and take in the impressive architecture nearby.
