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
Find the high altitude during an ascent of the Our Lieve Vrouwetoren. After 346 steps you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view! VVV Amersfoort offers several 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 tells 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
