Students get a discounted ticket and the audio tour is included. It’s well worth following the entire tour in the correct order.
The 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

Don't estimate the palace based on what you see from outside.. Interior is magnificent.. Well worth a visit. Take the audio tour .
An absolute must. The free audio guide is concise&helps you understand how the administration works.
Nice building and architecture . Free audio guide , though unless you really care about the history of Amsterdam 's royal families it's a bit boring.
Helpful audio guide that covers palace visitors ranging from Napoleon to current heads of states .
The way they use for sharing the informations for tourists is great 👍🏻
Not 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
Signed 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
Nice 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! :)
The now royal palace was once the City Hall . Amazing internal yard with on the floor the world map (as then known)
Absolutely fantastic, definitely recommend a visit. Majestic in every sense!
Underestimated historical place in Amsterdam, must visit even when you are not a tourist
Take an audio tour ! Beautiful historical building with luxurious interiors
I love the unicorns at the top. I always wonder if the king smokes ...
part of it is a modern art exhibit , which detracts from the prettiness of the palace
Great place to chill-out with some royal homies over here

Spectacular. Was honestly amazing
Always love being here...
There's no explanatory text _anywhere_, because the royal couple doesn't like to clutter the place with signs. Use the audio guide instead.
For King and country !
Nice European Architecture
Beautiful inside and out
Very nice palace
Have coffee with queen Beatrix! Great view from the balcony , excellent spot for Queensday, every year on April 30th.

Çok 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❤️
