The Rijksmuseum anchors Amsterdam's Museum Quarter—a district of grand 19th-century boulevards, manicured parks, and some of the world's most important art collections. Rembrandt's Night Watch hangs here, along with Vermeer, Frans Hals, and four centuries of Dutch masters.
Staying in the Museum Quarter means elegant, residential streets. Boutique hotels occupy renovated townhouses with high ceilings and views over tree-lined avenues. The Van Gogh Museum is next door, the Concertgebouw concert hall a short walk away, and Vondelpark's green lawns begin at the district's edge.
This is upscale Amsterdam—quieter than the canal ring, with excellent restaurants and design shops along P.C. Hooftstraat (the city's luxury shopping street). Trams connect you to Dam Square and Central Station in ten minutes.
For art lovers and travelers who prefer refinement over chaos, the Rijksmuseum area delivers the best of Amsterdam without the crowds and noise of the center.
