Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam: halls behind the Dam

The Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam gives access to its halls on set days. It remains a palace for receptions, so the visitor calendar matters more than a general weekly schedule.

Plan your visit ↗

A building of great spaces

The Burgerzaal (Citizens’ Hall), Troonzaal (Throne Room), Balkonkamer (Balcony Room) and other rooms are mentioned along the route. Notice how scale, passageways and decoration emphasise the function of each space.

Art in context

Work by Flinck and Bol is mentioned in connection with the interior. Look at art not only as a separate image, but also in relation to the hall for which the display provides context.

Using an audio tour

The audio tour is described as included in the admission. It lets you link explanations to your walk round and linger longer in a hall that catches your attention.

Before you go

The palace may be closed for receptions. Book an available date and time, and discuss in advance which route and facilities are accessible for your group.
