Guided tour

A guided tour gives you the privilege of getting an exclusive look into what happens behind the scenes in one of Europe’s most beautiful concert halls. An enthusiastic guide will tell you all about the history of the Muziekgebouw and its unique architecture.

The endless possibilities of the Grote Zaal and its magnificent acoustics will be thoroughly explored. You will get to see places that are normally closed to the public, such as the backstage area, the dressing rooms, the loading dock, and the artists’ green room. And don’t forget to enjoy the beautiful view over the IJ from the Foyerdecks.

The guided tour is in Dutch, starts in the Entrance Hall and lasts over an hour. Every tour is different, depending on what is going on in the building at that time. Please note that the tour involves a lot of walking. For those in wheelchairs, almost everything is accessible by lift.

Organ concert
Combine your tour with the organ concert in the Kleine Zaal. The concert starts at 11:00, the tour at 13:00. You must purchase a ticket separately for the concert.
