The gardens of Rijksmuseum are a nice place to sit and chill. There are fountains, statues, flowers, and a coffee shop.
There are, also, loads of chairs so you will find somewhere to relax.
The gardens are on each of the four corners of the museum.
It's not worth a special visit, but if you happen to be passing or have just visited the museum, then it is worth popping in.

The short waking path felt like I’d went back in time. If you’re blessed enough to have a street musician playing, the experience is taken to a whole new level. I didn’t even have to go into the museum to catch a piece of history.

The garden of Rijksmuseum is really very nice. We came here accidentally. The entrance to the garden is free. It's a really good place to rest after sightseeing. The garden style is French and there are many flowers and colors. Have in mind that there are many people around here, so it's usually overcrowded.
