What To Expect
The Diamond Museum in Amsterdam takes you on a journey through the fascinating history of diamonds, from their origins deep within the earth to the stunning jewels we see today. Located in a beautiful 17th-century villa at Museum Square, the museum is the only one of its kind in Europe. You can explore a variety of exhibits, see masterpieces like the jewels of the Dutch royal family, and learn about Amsterdam's rich history as a global center for diamond polishing. It's a brilliant way to discover the world of these precious stones. To get your specific time slot to the museum, you have to reserve this in advance. You can do this by visiting your Tours & Tickets shops (such as Damrak 26).
This ticket includes a Canal Cruise. Your selected timeslot is the timeslot reserved for the Canal Cruise at Prins Hendrikkade (opposite Amsterdam Central Station): Prins Hendrikkade 33A. Please note that there is a 30 minute walk inbetween the canal cruise and the Museum. We advice to take the metro which takes you there in 5 minutes.
