Mindful meoweler tips

Amersfoort's historic center

Stroll along the historic center to explore the medieval architecture and canals. Stop by Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe-Kerk (Our Lady Church) to see the medieval wall paintings and climb the tower for a panoramic view of the city.

Koppelpoort

Visit the iconic Koppelpoort gate that dates back to the 15th century, originally part of the city's defensive wall. Marvel at the intricate hydraulic system that used to control the water level around the gate and go for a boat ride under it.

Local cuisine

Taste the traditional Amersfoortse Keitjes candy, which translates to 'Amersfoort pebbles', from the local candy shop 'Van Vliet'. For a savory option, try the Amersfoortse Hete Bliksem, a potato and apple dish with bacon.
