You get the famous letters plus the fantastic architecture of the Rijksmuseum and if you turn around and walk to the Modern Art museum, you get to see why its called the bathtub !

I can't believe I almost forgot to visit these famous letters! We went around early afternoon (this was at the end of February) and there were tons of people there taking photos too. So yes, we got our photo, but with a bunch of other people in it too. Try going maybe early in the morning or late at night after the bars if you want a shot with just your friends on the letters. Also it's right next to the Van Gogh museum.. they had an ice skating rink up right behind it, and some pretty expensive food stands, not worth it in my opinion.

The location of the Museumplein is wonderful. A little out of town, away from the city centre, but that makes it even better. It's very clean, handy for the art galleries and a very safe part of Amsterdam.I've stayed twice now, in pretty much the same place and would not only consider staying in this area. It comes highly recommended!

Although it was chilly when we visited (in fact, they were busy drilling away at the ice on the temporary ice rink), it would be a lovely area to sit and rest after a few hours visiting the many museums in the area.
