Concierge.com's insider take:
The vast neoclassical brick castle of the Rijksmuseum—set in gardens leading to Museumplein and onward to the Van Gogh Museum and the Concertgebouw—is under renovation through 2009. Until then, a selection of the museum's incredible holdings, which include Rembrandts, Vermeers, and delftware, is on exhibit in the Philips wing. Although the displays rotate, Rembrandt's most famous work, The Nightwatch, is always on view. On the positive side, visiting is a far less exhausting proposition than normal.
Open daily 9 am to 6 pm (Fridays open till 10 pm).
