The 10 Best Things to Do in Vianen, The Netherlands

September 12, 2017 Moriah Teneyck

Vianen (Dutch pronunciation: [viˈjaːnə(n)]) is a municipality and a city in the central Netherlands, in the province of Utrecht. It is the only municipality in Utrecht located south of the Lek River. Before 2002 it was part of the province of South Holland. Vianen is bordered by two major motorways leading to Utrecht: the A2 (Amsterdam-Maastricht) on its west, and the A27 (Breda-Almere) just east of the town. Both roads can be notoriously congested near Vianen during peak commute hours.

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.

The mill is still working and you can visit it only on friday and saturday. As we were here not on those days, we could only see the mill from outside. There is also a small shop selling the flour.

Gemeente Nieuwegein

Reviewed By WorldTravelOne - Breukelen Ut

I think it is great what they did in Nieuwegein: when they built the new city hall (a futuristic looking building), they put a library building on top of it. The library is open six days a week, Monday through Friday from 9AM to 8PM and on Saturday from 9AM to 5PM. Now that is community service!

Vianen stedelijk museum

Reviewed By H.M. V - Tiel, The Netherlands

Samen met mijn man, dochter, schoonzoon en 2 kleinzoons van 7 en 10 jaar bezochten wij dit leuke museum met normaal gesproken wetenswaardigheden en foto's van oud Vianen.
Momenteel is er een tentoonstelling van zwart/wit etsen gemaakt door Rembrandt.
Deze dag was er een rondleiding door de eigenaar van deze etsen, Jaap Mulders.
Na binnenkomst kregen wij een tablet, hiermee is het mogelijk om de ins en outs van de etsen te lezen.
Het tablet op een ets richten alsof je een foto wilt maken.
De enthousiaste en leerzame rondleiding door de enthousiaste eigenaar Jaap Mulders was leuk en leerzaam.
Jaap Mulders heeft inmiddels een ruime collectie opgebouwd, sinds kort heeft hij een rode ets aan zijn verzameling kunnen kunnen toevoegen, deze hangt sinds zaterdag 25 november 2017 ook in het museum.
Deze bijzondere tentoonstelling is nog te zien in dit museum t/m 7 januari 2018.
Het is werkelijk een feestje om te zien dat 3 generaties, iedere generatie op zijn/haar eigen manier heeft genoten hiervan.
Er is 1 ets met een grapje, nadat je de tablet erop hebt gericht, kun je een selfie maken.
Uiteraard vonden mijn kleinzoons dit helemaal geweldig !

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.

Jumpsquare

The ultimate combination of sports and fun. With 2000 square meters this is the biggest trampoline park in Europe.

Reviewed By PatSorKi - Utrecht

Good playground for the children.
They can do a lot off activities. Your child has to be a bit athletic because it’s lot of climbing and jumping on things.
The timer function works good and the staff is strict.
It is not cheap. The birthday party’s are also a really nice thing to do.

Touring Vianen included this Brewery towards the southeast at Fort Everdingen. We went there by group in a bike tour, the usual summer trip of relatives. We reached the Fort after we went around Vianen prominent spots usually tourist could be interested too.
We reached the Fort brewery and tried to settle there for a while, our rest time. Men ordered there beer to try to taste this known supreme Dutch beer. We went back towards the direction northeast to Hagestein and passed by some other nice scenery around. So nice to show off so that others may see this amazing attractions of the place.

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.
