The Van Abbemuseum sits on Bilderdijklaan, on the water, and holds one of the better modern and contemporary collections in the Netherlands. An afternoon there is a proper afternoon — most people come out later than they meant to.
After the museum
Eight minutes on foot brings you into the old centre and onto Kerkstraat. We open at five, so a late-afternoon visit lands neatly on an early dinner.
Worth knowing
The museum is closed on Mondays. So, usually, are we — check the week on the site, because the schedule moves with the season.
