The tourism agency for Amsterdam put out a new web page with waiting times for its major attractions. It is still a new project and more museums and places will be added, yet Van Gogh, Anne Frank, Rijks, Rembrandt museums, and Heineken Experience, are all listed there: Live lines: Real-time wait lengths

Interesting concept. Apart from the Rijks/VG/AF, I have never encountered any lines at any of the other attractions on that page. I think it's more of a gimmick to get tourists to try out some of the less popular sites which are included on the Iamsterdam card which that site promotes and sells.

Amsterdam is getting so popular that the city government rightly feels the need to spread the visitors. Most don't seem to realise that the city offers more than the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank Huis, let alone that there is a whole country outside Amsterdam.

This is amazing--but how do they do it?
