Things to know before booking your Mauritshuis tickets
Booking window
Pre-book online: Reserve a timed ticket at least 2 weeks ahead, especially on weekends or holidays. Timed e‑tickets bypass the on‑site ticket queue, though expect a short 10–30 minute security check. Recommended experience
What’s included
Standard entry: Your ticket grants full access to the permanent collection during regular hours. It does not include guided commentary or combo offers. An upgrade is available if you want an audio guide with detailed art insights.
Entrances & flow
Smooth entry: Tickets are scanned at the main Plein entrance, where you still pass through a brief security check. Even with an online ticket, there is a short line at the door before you enter the galleries.
Ways to explore
Plan your route: Start on the upper floor to see Vermeer and Rembrandt before crowds build. Early morning or late afternoon visits help you avoid peak congestion, making a day-trip from Amsterdam more manageable.
Policies & rules
House rules: Once you exit, re‑entry is not allowed. Large bags must be stored in the cloakroom, and non‑flash photography is permitted only in designated areas. Bring ID if discounts apply.
