6 places that make the city

The places that make Amersfoort: Koppelpoort, Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren, Muurhuizen and more, with what is on there next.

Koppelpoort

Outdoors

A gate that is a land gate and a water gate in one, on the Eem, where the river officially begins. The old mechanism that closed it still works.

Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren

Lange Jan, the church tower of more than 98 metres in the middle of the old centre. You climb its 346 steps with a guide, and you have to book.

Muurhuizen

Kunsthal KAdE

A museum for contemporary art on the Eemplein, with two exhibitions that change and a café. Open Tuesday to Sunday.

The zoo of Amersfoort, mostly outdoors. It is open all year, usually from 09:00 to 18:00 in summer time and from 10:00 to 17:00 in winter time. Check the site for today's hours.
