We are approaching Rixmuseum, the main museum in the Netherlands. In the middle of the last century, there was a very lively Museumstraat, which was also called the “shortest highway in Holland.” Now there is a large pool, which becomes a city ice rink in the wintertime. Between the pool and the museum building, once there was a big construction, spelling out “I AMsterdam” - which is a play on “I am Amsterdam”. It was one of the most popular places for countless selfies.

A personal guide to the museum quarter has been carefully planned and prepared for you by the Conservatorium Hotel. Our hotel is directly related to this exquisite cultural quarter of the city because the conservatory once occupied the building in which the hotel is located. The museum quarter adorns Amsterdam like the Kohinoor diamond adorns the crown of the British Empire. Between them, by the way, there is a direct relationship, which you will learn about from a trip. The walk will introduce you to the history and unexpected twists and turns of the fate of the inhabitants of the quarter, its buildings and houses, and of course, will lead you and learn about the most famous and visited museum square in the world. The walk is planned for the whole day and combines relaxing in the park and visiting museums. However, you can divide the trip into two parts. Architecture, history, shops, and the park from stop 1 to stop 9. Museums from stop 10 to the end of the trip. For your convenience, download the route to your phone, and thus you will not be dependent on a network connection. Have a nice walk.
