Valentine or not: these dates are not about grand gestures, but about seeing, tasting, listening and feeling together. Spoiler: big chance you'll go home with a little crush on the Keistad.
View the city from above
Reach great heights together during a tower climb in the dark. With a guide, climb 346 steps to the top of the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren At the top, an enchanting view of a sea of lights awaits you. Back down, a glass of bubbles awaits you.
Mini-assignment: above both choose one landmark and tell why it belongs to your Amersfoort.
Floating dinner
Restaurant De Saffraan is found in a converted clipper boat, bobbing in the romantic Eemhaven. With its warm, quiet interior, this is a fine place for good conversation. On the plate, the kitchen surprises with exciting flavors and textures.
Mini assignment: order something outside your standard and describe the taste in three words.
Hands in the clay
At the Keramiek Boetiek, your hands do the work: kneading, shaping, glazing. Choose a workshop that suits you - make your own mug or a wall ornament - and take home something lasting.
Mini-assignment: incorporate one Amersfoort detail into your work and see if your clay partner can spot it.
Sounds in the chapel
For an evening that will make you quiet, head to the Sint Aegtenkapel: a former monastery in the middle of the city and part of Flint. In the intimate auditorium, you will immerse yourself in the magic of classical concerts. The acoustics are wonderful, as is the setting with stained-glass windows, chandeliers and warm oak under your feet.
Mini assignment: both choose one moment when a silence, a high note or a melody line gave you goosebumps.
