Amsterdam Museums DIY Walking Tour

Amsterdam Museums DIY Walking Tour

Distance: 4.2 km (less than 3 miles).  Duration: 2-8 hours

The Amsterdam Museums DIY Walking Tour covers a totally flat distance of 4.2km (less than 3 miles), and should take anywhere from 2 hours to a full day (and evening) – depending on where you stop, and for how long.

My advice would be to spend a whole day (and early evening) on this DIY Walking Tour of the main museums in Amsterdam: visiting the Heineken Experience, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum in the morning and early afternoon; spending mid-late afternoon strolling through the Vondelpark (maybe having a late lunch at Groot Melkhuis in the middle of the Vondelpark – there is an accessible toilet just behind it – or maybe even just having a leisurely picnic on the grass?). Then take an early evening Amsterdam canal cruise on the Blue Boat (THE wheelchair accessible canal cruise in Amsterdam). Many of Amsterdam’s canal bridges are lit up in the evening too. Magical.

There’s a LOT to see and do on the Amsterdam Museums DIY Walking Tour. And because it’s a DIY walk – it’s completely free (other than your entry tickets/evening canal cruise tickets). Plus, you can take it at your very own pace; stopping for a coffee/snack/drink where, when, and for as long as you like; and lingering at the attractions of central Amsterdam which interest you (and speeding past those that don’t).

Points of Interest: the Heineken Experience, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedilijk Museum, Vondelpark (including the finest open-air theatre in Amsterdam and a late Dutch lunch at Groot Melkhuis). Finishing with an evening cruise along the canals of central Amsterdam.
