Amsterdam Castle: Muiderslot, a Genuine Castle, for a Real Taste of History

Duration:
4 hr
Total Travel Time:
1 hr
Activity:
3 hr

Visit the imposing Amsterdam Castle, the Muiderslot, which gives you a real taste of Dutch history. It is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam and included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. During the guided tour through rooms full of authentic furniture and paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, you will imagine yourself in a painting by Rembrandt or Frans Hals. The guided tour through the museum's rooms, all refurbished in 17th-century style, evokes the period, when Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, also known as the 'Dutch Shakespeare', occupied the castle. In the beautiful herb and vegetable gardens, which still retain the atmosphere of the Dutch Renaissance, you will find many, often forgotten, flowers, herbs and vegetables from times gone by. A walk along the ramparts offers fantastic views of the water-rich environments and the Pampus island fortress. You should not miss the visit to the most beautiful and best kept medieval castle in the Netherlands.
