The best summer activities in Amsterdam.


Moco Museum Amsterdam: Best Art Museum to Inspire

The best time to visit Moco Museum is between 09:00 and 10:00, when the museum is at its quietest. Stop by the Corner Bakery nearby for coffee and a pastry before heading in. The museum is housed in Villa Alsberg on Museumplein, a historic building that is itself a work of art.

Inside, you will find works by Warhol, Basquiat, Banksy, Kusama, Vexx, and KAWS, along with digital art exhibitions and a gift shop with unique art-inspired merchandise. Whether you are a seasoned art lover or visiting your first museum, Moco makes contemporary art accessible and exciting.

Moco Garden in Amsterdam

The Moco Garden is free to visit and requires no ticket. This outdoor sculpture garden features striking works including Marc Ange’s Le Refuge, a sculptural installation with perforated metal leaves, WhisBe’s Vandal Gummy, the iconic gummy bear sculpture, Anthony James’ Snub Cube, a geometric mirrored sculpture, and design pieces by Marcel Wanders.

Moco Outside App

Take the art experience beyond the museum walls with the Moco Outside App, an augmented reality experience on Museumplein. Available on both Android and iOS, the app lets you view digital art through your phone in the public space surrounding the museum. Afterwards, explore the Museumplein area, where food stalls, markets, and pop-up concerts bring the square to life in summer. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum are within walking distance.

Moco Boat Amsterdam: Canal Odyssey

The Moco Boat is a pink open-air branded boat that takes you on a cruise through Amsterdam’s legendary waterways. The city has over 1,500 bridges and 90 man-made islands. The route passes the Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge), one of Amsterdam’s most iconic landmarks, and sails through the picturesque Jordaan neighbourhood. A bar on board serves drinks throughout the cruise.

Summer in Amsterdam is best experienced with art, water, and sunshine. Book your Moco Museum tickets and make the most of your visit.
