Reviewed By jpcalo8 - West Virginia
This castle was rebuilt to its very impressive stature to include a moat and fully functioning draw Bridges. it is winter and the Gardens are impeccable but we missed the flowers of spring and summer.
The benefit of visiting now, no crowds and our visit seemed like a private tour. The staff is very knowledgeable and eager to answer all questions. This is the castle to visit.

My girlfriend and I find that this is the best spa in the area. But we believe the my should raise the prices, at the moment there are a lot of people going and not respecting the rules of silence. The staff seems not to take measures, so instead of feeling relaxed and quiet, it feels crowded and noisy.
The premises are very good and the food is ok. Not the best wine selection though.
3. 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.

Reviewed By bas k - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Op mijn fietstocht naar demooie bloementuin de Vlinderhof in het Maximapark kwam ik langs deze mooie middeleeuwse kerk uit 1224.
Het interieur is modern maar met de restauratie heeft men de buitenkant een oorspronkelijk uiterlijk teruggegeven.
De broederschapshuisjes naast de kerk vond ik ook leuk om te bekijken.
5. Castellum Hoge Woerd
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By RHAHJ - Nijmegen, The Netherlands
This place is all about the Roman boat that was excavated in the early 2000s. The boat has been very nicely preserved, although the upper parts have vanished over the years that it lay in the water. Many tools and other items were found in closets on the boat, giving a good idea of life on board. One can walk around the boat on ground level, but also on a gallery spiralling around the boat. The tools are displayed along this gallery. There is written information about the boat and the Roman presence here, all around the boat. On the ground floor, there is a movie about the excavation. Around one of the entrances there are a few items found around the castellum. The building itself is in the shape of a castellum, although the materials are probably not realistic. There is a kitchen inside the building. Outside there is a reconstruction of a Roman guard tower. Entrance is free, so not to miss when you're in the area.

This church used to be a meeting point. But now there are onlyoldfashion services. Old habits are coming back and it's like they are living in the 60th again.
By a memorial service, babtism or marriage the service should be close to the peoples it is about. But there is less possibility for personal input

8. Rietveld Schroder House

4.5 based on 303 reviews
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.
9. Dom Tower

Reviewed By Antonija R
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.
