If you’re exploring Amsterdam and looking for a quick, fun activity that offers a memorable keepsake, the AI Portrait Photo Souvenir at Rembrandts Amsterdam could be just what you need. This experience promises to turn a simple photo into a personalized masterpiece inspired by legendary artists like Van Gogh and Rembrandt — all in about 20 minutes. It’s a neat mix of modern tech and art, and at just $13 per person, it’s an affordable way to add some creative flair to your trip.
What we love about this experience is how accessible it is — located just 250 meters from the Rijksmuseum, making it easy to fit into a day of sightseeing. Plus, each portrait is completely unique, ensuring no two souvenirs are alike, which makes for a fun surprise. The high-quality AI (definitely not a TikTok filter) creates impressive results that you’ll want to show off or keep forever.
One possible downside? The activity itself is quite brief — around 20 minutes — so if you’re after a more immersive or detailed art experience, this might feel a little light. Also, note that the souvenir is only included as one print, with an option to buy more if your creative side is feeling extra generous. Still, for its price, it’s a charming addition to any Amsterdam itinerary, especially if you’re traveling with friends or family who enjoy a bit of fun and novelty.
This tour works well for anyone who appreciates quick, memorable activities, and it’s particularly suited to those who want a souvenir that’s both personal and artistic. It’s a light-hearted experience that adds a touch of art history to your trip without demanding much time or effort.

What to Expect from the AI Portrait Experience

When you arrive at Rembrandts Amsterdam, you’ll find a friendly setup ready to make your artistic dreams come true. The process is straightforward and designed to be quick and fun. You’re first invited to take a photo — this could be with a webcam or your own camera — then you’ll select your preferred artistic style. Options include famous painters like Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Monet, or even Delft Blue and Bosch, which adds a playful variety to your choices.
Once you’ve made your selection, the AI kicks in. In just a few moments, it generates six different portraits based on your photo. These images are high quality and artistically stylized, not just simple filters. You then choose one (or more) to be printed and framed on-site. The package includes one printed image in a souvenir frame, but you can purchase additional prints if you’re feeling extra creative or want more souvenirs. The entire process takes around 20 minutes, making it a great quick stop.
You won’t need to worry about scheduling or time slots — it’s all on a flexible basis during regular opening hours, so you can easily pop in between other sightseeing plans. The activity is also wheelchair accessible, which is a considerate touch.
