“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.”

“Living and working on the Kleine Spui reminds me every day how beautiful Amersfoort is.”

“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.”

“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.”
