National Military Museum

In the NMM at the former Soesterberg air base, the past, present and future of the Dutch armed forces come together. See our impressive collection at first hand and experience for yourself the exciting stories of our armed forces at the biggest museum about the Dutch military! The NMM has the most extraordinary collection of tanks, aircraft, armoured vehicles and helicopters in the Netherlands! Each one of them is unique and has its own story. Personal objects and moving stories also come to life at the NMM. You will be amazed how the Dutch armed forces are interwoven with the world around you!

Reviewed By Hansje - The Hague, The Netherlands

The Netherlands National Military Museum tells the story of the Netherlands Army and Air Force over centuries. It's only a couple of years old and definitely on par with the some of the worlds best technological museums; e.g. the Smithsonian museums in Washington. Well worth more than one visit, suitable for all ages.

Canals area

Reviewed By Rallie S - Stirling, United Kingdom

There are lots of cafes, bars and shops of all types (incl. antiques) along the canals, as well as more quiet areas, so there is something for everyone. Mostly it's less crowded than Amsterdam although in the centre it could get quite busy (beware of the cyclists). The old houses along the canals are beautiful. It's definitely a lovely walk.

Snack service to your chair and comfortable sofa style seats make this a first class cinema. The screens aren't the largest but the other amenities easily make up for that.

Huis Doorn

Reviewed By KeithJSullivan - Crawley, United Kingdom

I wasn't sure what to expect from Huis Doorn (we were taken there as a suggested place to visit) but it proved to be so very interesting. The place is bursting with history, the significance of which is astounding. The guide that showed us around spoke excellent English and the whole group were transfixed with the explanations given. This place is a treasure trove of history.

Everything here is well-maintained in good conditions with abundant places for parking. The golf shop here sells a comprehensive stock of golf stuff.

Thermen Soesterberg

Reviewed By dgoedh - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

We booked the Kings Day arrangement for the Thermen Soesterberg. That includes a day sauna access, a welcome (orange) cake and drink and small lunch (Goat cheese with bread). This Thermen is quite new and still under construction. There is sufficient parking space. You get a coin for the way out. We tried every kind of sauna that was available and the temperature is indicated at the door. It was nice. There are ample showers and cold baths and every hour there was special ceremony in one of the Finish sauna's where they whirl around with towels and herbs. We did not attend btw. We can recommend this place, but maybe next time we will come back on a normal day, when it is less crowded.

Landgoed Oostbroek

Reviewed By CGH67 - Leesburg, Virginia

Landgoed Oostbroek is owned by the Utrecht Landschap and is not far from the University of Utrecht in the Uithof. It is about 80 hectares and consists mainly of Forests, meadows and an orchard. IT has several short hiking trails that provide a neat overview of the variety in the Dutch landscape and old estates that have been modeled after the English estates. One of the nicest places is a wide ditch (I cannot call it a pond). There is always something to see. During my last visit we saw many frogs, a ring-necked snake swimming, butterflies and many birds. Oostbroek also has a small shop/cafe where you can order some coffee and cakes. You can also buy various natural products. If you have an hour of the time it's fun walking here and getting a drink.

MOA

Reviewed By bas k - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The beautiful country-house has been converted into a small museum offering modern art in historic 18th century rooms.I enjoyed the historic "chinoiserie"wall papers and murals and stuffed birds and animals of the temporary expo.The wooded area around the country house is home to badgers,woodpeckers and other protected wildlife.Due to construction of a highway nearby there is increased media attention about this nature reserve and the threats to its trees by urban development.

Rietveld Schroder House

Reviewed By bonsi7 - Bardolino

One-of-a-kind Rietveld house. All of the downstairs rooms have an external door. The panels that closed at the end of the day are fantastic, cutting off part of the external light. A 30 minutes' walk from the center of town should not put you off. Entrance is a bit expensive, but includes the entrance fee to the Central Museum (on the same day). The tour includes an audio guide backed up by a well informed live guide.
