Hey adventurer! Which way are you going on a city safari? In a city like Amersfoort, there is always something new to discover. Step into the past or into the heights. Go sporty by foot or get carried away relaxed. Off we go!

1. HighlIght of my day

See Amersfoort with different eyes during a walking or biking tour of Gilde Amersfoort. Traverse the center in 1.5 hours during a city walk. Or join a special summer tour on the border of Amersfoort and Leusden. You will pass the Galgenberg, the Belgenmonument, the beautiful nature of Den Treek and more. Groenmarkt 19

 

2. On top of the city

Seek the high altitude during a climb of the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren. After 346 steps, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view! VVV Amersfoort offers various tower climbs. For example, join an evening climb or learn all about the two carillons (chimes). Breestraat 1

 

3. Kedeng Kedeng

The Keijlijn tourist train runs right through the historic center. Hop on! In one hour, the driver takes you past the must-sees. The guide will tell you everything you want to know about the city. Want to linger a little longer somewhere? You can get off at any time and just hop on again later. Krommestraat 3


 

4. If only I had a time machine

How much do you know about the history of our city? Living History brings stories from past times to life, literally and figuratively. In the Mannenzaal and het Burgerweeshuis, role-players assume the roles of the former residents of these locations. In historic costumes and all! Mannenzaal / Orphanage
