Muiderslot
A storybook medieval castle from 1285 with a drawbridge, moat, corner towers and ramparts overlooking the Vecht River. Explore period rooms with audio guides, try on knight's chainmail, climb the West Tower (83 steps), do treasure hunts, dress in period costume, and wander formal Renaissance gardens with herb and vegetable plots. Falconry demonstrations run April-November. Nice cafe with play area for kids and playground on castle grounds.
Visit April-October for full seasonal gardens and outdoor activities. Castle has narrow staircases and limited mobility access, so best for ages 4+ who can manage stairs independently.
