When you visit Utrecht you will notice the Domtoren almost immediately. The 14th century tower is the heart of the old city centre. At 112 metres, it remains the highest church tower in the Netherlands. The Domtoren is open all year round, and the view of Utrecht is worth seeing in every season. The tower can only be visited as part of a guided tour, during which our expert guides will take you on a historical journey. The tour starts in the Tourist Information Centre on Dom Square and takes about an hour. The Domtoren is in need of extensive restoration work on the exterior and the restoration will take about 5 years (2019-2024) The Domtoren is open for visitors as normal. No work will be done on the inside of the tower so you can visit the chapels and belfry. When you come outside on the galleries at 70 meters and 95 meters you will see some scaffolding but the view is unchanged and as impressive as always. And you get the unique opportunity to see the work up close!

A church tower at an altitude of over 100 meters in the center of Utrecht. The tower was adjacent to the church, but today it is separated by a small square. You can take a guided tour of the tower, climb about 480 steps and visit the different floors of the tower. From the top terrace there is a spectacular view of the city of Utrecht. The tour starts at the nearby tourist office. Reservations are recommended.

It's a bit more inside the main plaza and you can't miss it cause it's very beautiful, not as big as the other gate but still amazing

This circular street has a fascinating history and truly beautiful architecture, it is like taking a trip back in time. It encapsulates the quirkiness and class of Amersfoort.

Huis Doorn was bought by Kaiser Wilhelm 2 of Germany after he was forced to abdicate and sent in exile in 1920. It is chocful of luxury items which were brought from his palaces in Germany by 59 train cars. Especially also a large collection of gorgeous paintings. He liked the house dor its large grounds where he could chop wood. There are guided tours on the top of the hour by very knowledgeable guides, cost 12 euros per persoon. There is also a museum shop on site and a restaurant in one of the side buildings.

The Koppelpoort is a city gate in Amersfoort. It is a combination of land and water gate. The name is probably derived from the East Middle Dutch word Coppel meaning meadow

What a nice town Amersfoort is and this town gate is really unique, as it combines a water and land entrance.

De Windhond is een ronde stenen molen die 1785 in Woerden is gebouwd. De molen staat op één van de laatste stukjes stadswal, die oorspronkelijk deel uit maakte van een bastion, behorend bij de stadswallen van het oude Woerden. In 1984 is de molen gerestaureerd en vandaag de dag is deze als korenmolen nog steeds in gebruik. Het meel van de molen wordt op de wekelijkse streekmarkt verkocht! De molen kan regelmatig bezocht worden, de entree bedraagt 2 euro. Ook kan de molen worden bezocht onder begeleiding van een Gilde gids.

This is easily the best windmill ‘experience’ in Netherlands. A working flour-mill with pretty much everything as it was on design (albeit a few modern improvements) that you can visit and see all the inner workings - for FREE. Make sure you wait around for the wind to see it all spin into gear tho as it’s absolutely superb. But - do buy something to help them keep this historic landmark open and free. I don’t even cook but asked for a small bag of flour to take with me as a souvenir and they were happy to oblige.
