Discovering Amersfoort cannot be done in one day. Many people make a weekend of it. Or even a whole vacation, because from this center of the Netherlands you can go in every direction by bike, car or train!
To make your experience complete, here are 4 tips to spend the night like nowhere else in the world!
Signal Box Post VI
Signal Box Post VI is not just an overnight spot. You sleep here in the middle of Amersfoort's railroad past, among the monumental buildings of the Wagenwerkplaats. The small house on stilts was once the place where shunters supervised the trains on the tracks and operated the signals and switches. The house has been carefully rebuilt based on the original drawings, with authentic elements. Now it mostly signals: this is where you want to stay.

Vita Nova
Spend the night on the swell of the water? Step aboard the sturdy cargo ship Vita Nova, docked in Amersfoort's Eemhaven.

The wooden corridors, the creaking of the ship and the view over the water make this a unique overnight stay in the middle of the city. All hands on deck for a special night on the water!
