Our historic downtown is truly a picture. But there is also a lot to discover outside the center. Are you already familiar with the area around Bergstraat? You'll find unique stores, delectable restaurants with to-go meals and beautiful art to admire. Walk out of town or grab a bike and discover even more of beautiful Amersfoort.
The Window Bank
If anything has become trendy in recent times, it is hiking. #lawa. Personally, I always like to have a goal before going out. At 32 Bergstraat you will find De Vensterbank.Two large window sills, where works by different artists are displayed. Lovely to stop by during your walk and peek unabashedly at. At the moment you can admire the work of visual artist Jasper Hagenaar. With QR code for those who want to know more.
Beautiful inside and out
Walk in to organic supermarket afterward Nieuw Mos. They have a wide range of sustainable products to pamper your body inside and out. In addition to the supermarket, they also recently opened a department store. Here you can find clothing, products for the little ones and cool items to brighten up your home. All sustainably produced.

Cozy restaurants
At these three restaurants, it's feasting time. It's up to you to choose from all the delicious dishes. As an avid foodie, my tip would be to order a to-go meal at all three. Coming up:
Sally's Kitchen
Sally's-to-Go serves the most delicious and well-known dishes from Indonesia. Freshly made and varied. Think gado gado, daging rendang, sayur lodeh, nasi or bami goreng and much more. You can choose from individual dishes or a menu with vega(n) options. Feel like sinning? They also have bacon cake!
Tollius
At Tollius@home you can now compose your own lunch or dinner from the à la carte menu. You decide how luxurious and elaborate you make your home dinner. Don't feel like choosing? Every week chef Barry invents a new 3 and 4-course menu with amuse bouche and bread with garnish. Make your home dinner extra special by putting on something nice and lighting candles.
Bindicafe
At Bindicafe you can order the most delicious vegan dishes. Everything is prepared as much as possible with local, seasonal and organic ingredients. And also nice: it is very affordable. On the menu you will find soup, pasta, curry, the famous Bindi burger, salads, bowls, wraps and sweets.
Me time tip
On Bergstraat you'll find Bindi: a yoga studio with a fine store and café. At the moment you can take online yoga classes here, but soon you will be able to take them live again. They recently started the Me time course, a six-week course of yoga, meditation and daily routines. You can follow the course at your own pace and even after six weeks look back and repeat what you like. During the course you can share your experiences with other students or ask questions in the online community. In addition, you will receive an e-book and book tips to deepen your practice.
The Rietveld Pavilion
At the moment only virtually, but when the weather permits, take a look at 033fotostad | Rietveldpavilion. There are regular exhibitions of photography. I love wandering around places like this. Art stimulates the senses, inspires and raises questions. You can look at it together or alone. It takes you out of the here and now and shows you other worlds, possibilities and ways of thinking.
