Why Skip the Line in 2025?
Lines at the Van Gogh Museum can drag on. In 2024, around 2.5 million people visited, down slightly from 2023 due to capacity limits, but still packed. Peak hours (11:00 AM–3:00 PM) see waits of 90 minutes to 2 hours on weekends, while weekdays hover at 30–60 minutes. Even in low season, queues hit 15–45 minutes by noon. Luckily, Skip-the-Line tickets cut the hassle—reserve early!
