Jean-Paul Schaddé van DoorenJanuary 13, 2015Use the audiotour, it tells you a lot about the history of the city and the royal palace.
Tanya GSeptember 4, 2016You can visit the palace every day in July and August between 11-17h. For the rest of the year you have to check the homepage(www.paleisamsterdam.nl/en) for opening hours or take the virtual tour.Upvoted Feb 1
RAKANOctober 29, 2023Beautiful palace 🏰 great architecture ✨ spectacular art 🖼️ a lot of History 🏫⚱️
Paige HunterFebruary 18, 2019Students get a discounted ticket and the audio tour is included. It’s well worth following the entire tour in the correct order.
- POctober 18, 2017The audio-tour is great, and the palace itself is a great visit for two hours, especially for people interested in the unique history of Amsterdam
Aidu FDecember 26, 2015An absolute must. The free audio guide is concise&helps you understand how the administration works.
Emily BasileAugust 28, 2016Nice building and architecture. Free audio guide, though unless you really care about the history of Amsterdam's royal families it's a bit boring.- Johnika DJune 3, 2013The unique cultural history of Amsterdam outlined on top of the Royal Palace. Part 2-the right side. Do you see what I see? #people #arab #nativeamerican #african #animals #camel #blackheritagetour
izi.TRAVELMarch 31, 2014In 2013, the enthronement of King Willem-Alexander took place here on Dam Square, making him Monarch of the Kingdom of the NL, and spoke to the people on the square from the balcony of the palace Read more
Tero AngeriaDecember 3, 2017Don't estimate the palace based on what you see from outside.. Interior is magnificent.. Well worth a visit. Take the audio tour.

meganSeptember 2, 2017Helpful audio guide that covers palace visitors ranging from Napoleon to current heads of states.
Kees HaverkampJanuary 4, 2011Nice and cosy souvenir shop 50 meters from madame tussauds. You can buy your madame tussauds tickets here €6 cheaper and you don't have to stand in line to get in at tussauds neither. win-win! :)
Fabiano WaewellNovember 4, 2018Absolutely fantastic, definitely recommend a visit. Majestic in every sense!
Yuri IchijōJuly 4, 2015Not as pretty as Van Loon House, especially since you can't enter most rooms & have to crowd at the tiny entrances to look inside, but still worth a visit if you're interested in interior architecture
Rommert CrépinNovember 18, 2015Underestimated historical place in Amsterdam, must visit even when you are not a tourist
Alina NetesovaMay 31, 2016Take an audio tour! Beautiful historical building with luxurious interiors
Edo CostaNovember 29, 2014The now royal palace was once the City Hall. Amazing internal yard with on the floor the world map (as then known)
Emily LOctober 26, 2015part of it is a modern art exhibit, which detracts from the prettiness of the palace
- European ParliamentApril 29, 2013Signed in 1997, the Treaty of Amsterdam gave Parliament a much stronger position in co-legislating with the European Council and increased transparency in decision-making. Read more
Nieko MaatjesJanuary 2, 2016There's no explanatory text _anywhere_, because the royal couple doesn't like to clutter the place with signs. Use the audio guide instead.
- Antal VerschuurenNovember 19, 2009Have coffee with queen Beatrix! Great view from the balcony, excellent spot for Queensday, every year on April 30th.
Lucas HuizingaMarch 17, 2010If the queen is not at the palace, you can find the keys to unlock the door under the doormat!
S. ÖzdemirJanuary 19, 2019Çok çok çok beğendim, mimarisi dizaynı çok güzel. Amsterdam’da gezmekten en çok keyif aldığım mekan. Ayrıca yılda bir kez düzenlenen tuliptime’ a denk gelebilmek büyük şans❤️
