“I love visiting the Appelmarkt, a special and tucked-away spot in Amersfoort.”

“Every day a beautiful cycling route from the Soesterkwartier to the city centre.”

“Wandering along canals, squares and wall houses I experience the beauty and intimacy of Amersfoort — and always run into familiar faces.”

“Not quite the centre, but great shops on the Leusderweg!”

“During my lunch break I often take a walk through the city centre and enjoy a moment of quiet.”

“I thought I'd live in Amersfoort for just a year, but love — for both my husband and the city — has kept me here for over 40 years!”

“What I love most is that the city is so much more than streets and buildings.”

“It is very special to manage more than 40,000 objects from Amersfoort's history.”

“The first artwork I ever held was a Mondrian.”

“As a child I always explored Amersfoort with my parents on Open Monuments Day.”

“Amersfoort feels like a warm embrace, thanks to its historic city centre and excellent, diverse hospitality scene.”

“‘I love the water and the many little bridges in the city. De Havik is actually a quiet, as yet undiscovered part of Amersfoort!’”

“I love walking along the Muurhuizen for their characteristic, historic atmosphere.”

“What I love about Amersfoort is its urban facilities combined with the approachable, friendly feel of a large village.”

“Besides the historic centre, I find the areas still being developed particularly interesting — like De Nieuwe Stad and the Hoefkwartier.”
