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.

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!

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.
5. Spakenburg Saturday Market

We were staying in Amersfoort and caught the public bus to Bunschoten-Spakenburg. Spakenburg is an old fishing village which is now a bit inland, due to land reclamation. Just looking from the bus at the houses, churches, canals, and parks, was interesting. The Saturday Market in Spakenburg sells all the usual stuff of a Dutch open market. There are a lot of tourists in Spakenburg, and they are almost all Dutch. There are very few foreigners- which makes it more attractive to visit. We took the small tourist tram for a ride around Spakenburg- the commentary is only in Dutch, and the driver couldn't speak English- but it was fun. Afterwards, we did what the Dutch do- we had a herring (haring) with chopped onion (I think it was raw- delicious like sashimi) and then had an icecream.
I recommend visiting Spakenburg on a Saturday , or any other day.

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.

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

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.

Surprisingly interesting museum with good displays depicting life in IJsselstein in the olden times. There is also a pleasant area for a cup of tea. Very friendly, helpful staff.
9. Dom Tower

There is no better way to see Utrecht other than the Don Tower. I don’t get visitors from my home country frequently but as soon as someone comes I take him/her there. The Dom Tower has a history spread through several centuries but moreover it has a culture represented through 14 bells and old organ. It allows a great view over Utrecht and when the weather allows it Amsterdam can be seen.
