Musiom is a new museum for contemporary art in Amersfoort and offers a platform to artists who were born around the 1950s and have gained national and international recognition since the 1980s. The work of these artists could already be admired in galleries and at famous art fairs.

Beautiful castle situated in a large garden surrounded by a lake that will appear only in fairy tales of princes and princesses. Should be more charming if visit in the evening.
4. Dom Tower
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,983 reviews
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.

Reviewed By boodybah - Utrecht, The Netherlands
Great to spend the day with your kids. It's very well maintained and the stuff are very helpful; a lot of different animals, playgrounds, kids train, small restaurants, gift shops, ice cream shops, etc. Watch out for bees when staying in the outdoor restaurant. Must get baby/kids stroller, the place is huge and involves a lot of walking (FYI they do provide there at €2 and deposit of €10.)

Getting there by train is great it allows you to slow down and forget the rush of the journey to get there. The old station is a step back to a older time. Big ornate and some nice exhibits The WC are old style but modern level of hygiene a difficult balance to achieve. A train on the platform to enter and walk through. Watch out for the cow mooing in the cattle truck as you pass. The other side of the line is the new building. This houses even more of the collection and you have space to move round the exhibits. The building shows its engineering, no pretence of a railway building transformed, suspended walkways and loco 107 up in the air. The interaction screen for her is great. As you turn the monitor you get information on the bit you are looking at. New technology working on old technology, it made me smile. A glimpse at the library / archive made me drool and wonder what treasures it held. A audio story of a walk down to and through the first railways of the Netherlands is informative, human and good ( it can be in English) look out for the mouse. Another section is a “rollercoaster ride” around some exhibits. Fast, slow, dark and light all make it an experience to remember. One of the Orient Express coaches has Europe on one side and Eastern Mediterranean on the other. Showing the beginning and end of the journey, cleverly done. The shop is squarely aimed at the younger ones but that said the technical books were of interest to me even if only in Dutch. The Museum book is good and gives more than the normal simple high level snippet of information on an item. All in all a great way to spend a day. Food is available and coffee is what you would expect from the Dutch good and strong. This is not the only time ill be there I will return as there is more to see.
9. Amerongen Castle

This majestic castle has had a checkered history and forms an important insight into Dutch conflicts. Set in splendid gardens, this stern looking Castle is wonderful to visit. There are many fascinating rooms to be visited and it is all full of interest, including the families who have resided here. To protect the valuable contents, it is regrettably fairly dark with shutters drawn and curtains closed. This should not detract from the pleasure you should derive from a visit here.

Reviewed By Hermes_NL - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
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.
