Staying in Museumpark
Use the park paths to connect visits, but check each building's entrance before setting off. The mirrored Depot faces a different approach from the Kunsthal, which sits beside Westzeedijk. Addresses toward Rochussenstraat are more convenient for the metro, while those toward the southern edge shorten the walk to Het Park. This makes the precise accommodation location worth checking.

Staying in Museumpark
Can I walk between the main museums?
Yes. The Depot, Kunsthal and Natural History Museum are close enough to combine on foot, allowing time for separate entrances.
Which metro station should I choose?
Eendrachtsplein suits the eastern approaches, while Dijkzigt is useful from the west. Check the exact route to your accommodation.
Should I plan several museums in one day?
Two substantial visits usually leave more room for breaks and travel between buildings. Check current exhibitions before deciding how to divide your time.
