Vacations in the Eemhaven: Special Overnight In Amersfoort

A mini vacation doesn't have to be far away at all. Sometimes you can find the nicest destinations closer than you think. On the outskirts of Amersfoort is the Eemhaven: an atmospheric place where water, history and conviviality come together. Whether you are discovering the city as a visitor or have lived here for years, a trip to the Eemhaven feels like being away from it all.

In Amersfoort you will find plenty of special places to stay. Highly recommended is B&B Vita Nova, where you are gently rocked to sleep to the rhythm of the Eem. Owner Eléne welcomes you with open arms, and you feel that personal touch immediately upon arrival. The ship's cabin may be compact, but it offers everything you need: a comfortable bed under a skylight and a private bathroom all to yourself.

Every first and third Saturday of the month, the Eemplein in Amersfoort is the place to browse. Whether you're looking for unique vintage furniture, brocante gems or that one second-hand outfit, you'll find it all at the Flea Market.
_{Please note: from November to March only the 1st Saturday of the month.}

At the Eemplein you will find Kunsthal KAdE, an art hall without its own collection but with ever-changing exhibitions. The program focuses on contemporary and modern art, architecture, form & design and contemporary visual culture. Right next to the entrance is the KAdEShop, where you can browse among design items, jewelry, art books and original gadgets. Feel like taking a break? The KAdECafé welcomes you for a good lunch or drinks. The shop and café are freely accessible, even without an entrance ticket to the art gallery.

At restaurant Dara you sit outside on sunny days, but also inside the atmosphere is just as attractive. The menu features mezzes from a variety of regions: small, flavorful dishes that invite you to share and taste. Perfect for anyone who has trouble choosing - this way you get a bit of everything and always something tasty.

Take a seat in the lovely chairs and devour the latest blockbusters! Perfect for a drizzly day or when you just want to dive into another world. Thanks to the perfect sound and picture, you will be optimally sucked into the story.

After a successful evening in the Eemhaven you can easily walk back to the ship to spend the night. Next morning you get a delicious breakfast from Eléne, featuring local products.
