Beautiful fortress town Naarden, The Netherlands

Next time you're traveling to Amsterdam, stop by the area known as 't Gooi as well. 't Gooi consists of various small towns such as Naarden, Bussum, Blaricum, Laren, Hilversum. It's only half an hour drive from Amsterdam. What you'll get? Beautiful nature, woods, lakes, little villages, with lot's of villa's, shops....

Naarden is an old fortressed garrison town; it was given city rights in 1351.
The Netherlands Fortess Museum is located here and definitely worth paying a visit.
The same goes for all the antiques shops and the "interior design mall" Het Arsenaal by Jan des Bouvrie!!!

    Nice post, amazing city...

    Sadly the VVV no longer has any information on Naarden. www.naardenvesting.info is a nice blog about Naarden but only in dutch.

    I guess one just has to visit the city to really get a good feel of the place :-)
