Muiderslot

A 700-year-old castle with stories about dungeons, tower defenses, armories, incredible feasts, medieval toilets, and more! We parked at the lot at the entrance and paid for 90 minutes, which was exactly the amount of time we needed. See my photo for parking rates.

The self-guided audio tour was very informative. There are some steep, circular stairways in near darkness. Some rooms are empty while others are elaborately decorated. In the Tower Route, don't miss the tower defense area with the interactive game; You'll hear barking dogs and wonder where that's coming from!

The free restrooms are very clean and modern. The cafe area has lockers for your items, a small gift shop, and food and drinks.

The staff is very friendly and informative. Han spent time speaking with us about his fascinating heritage.

Highly recommend a visit here!

Very cool castle! Loved the audio tour and walking the grounds. They also have a decent cafe for lighter treats/coffee etc. Not much of a gift shop but good bathroom amenities

Not too difficult to get to as theres a bus that takes you near there from the station, it only comes once per hour though so account for that.

Lovely castle, audio tour through the castle take approximately 90 minutes there are 2 tours indoor and outdoor. It is very simple you just follow the your way and play the audio recordings which are scanned with the little machine. Make sure you walk around the castle too there are gardens and tables to sit. Ticket can be purchased at the entrance or online they do accept the cash too. Attaching the pictures for reference. Enjoy 😉

It's a really lovely castle. It's not so big but worth a visit. They also have a great park and plum garden where you can make a picnic and enjoy the nature. I also like the village near the castle. Definitely recommend especially if you have a museum card.

Muiderslot Castle is a great place to admire a medieval structure and some gardens surrounding the castle. There is a ton of history within and around those walls. We enjoyed walking through the gardens and touring the castle as well. I was surprised just how much of the castle we were allowed to walk through - it really was great. The self-guided audio tour (offered in multiple languages) is helpful as well, offering quite a bit of information regarding the various rooms and spaces you'll walk through. Be aware that there are quite a few stairs to get around to the different floors. We really enjoyed spending a number of hours here, and the rest of the afternoon in the quaint surrounding town.

One of the most famous castles in the Netherlands, Muiden was built in 1280. The audio tour they give you relates to the history, architecture and stories behind the exhibits.The castle and the gardens are amazing. There is a small coffee and gift shop and restrooms are available. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Visited today on a Sunday, it was b busy but not overcrowded and the weather was warm and sunny. I liked this place, entrance of €16.50 a person's a little high to walk the grounds but wife was free as she was in a wheelchair, and as I paid I did do the two walks around the castle so no regrets and will recommend in my tour guides. Parking is a little easy away with a lengthy walk but was nice along the canal and did get to see the bridge rotate to let through a couple big sailing vessels with very tall masts.

Gorgeous scenery and architecture. Fascinating history, I learned a lot. The place is best visited during warmer months for the best experience, where you can see the flowers in the garden bloom in all of their splender

Amazing audio tour. Estimated time for full tour in the castle and gardens is about 3+ hours. We were asked to go out at 5 pm without excuses.
Visiting during plum season would be like a medieval dream.

Muiderslot is a great little trip to the countryside beyond Amsterdam, well worth a morning excursion. We biked out along the dikes, and got free access with the iamsterdam card. There's a free audio guide that takes you on two different paths through the castle and explains the history and why certain things were designed the way they were, very informative. Nice bathrooms and a lush garden surrounding it as well. Overall a great little castle experience.

The audio tour wasn't good. I just gave up because it was complex and started to just read the plaques.

The castle itself was really well preserved. Everything inside was magic. Love it

Nice gardens with a large verity of plants from around the world. The actual castle was big (you would not want to fall in moat as didn’t look too clean) most rooms had some kind of explanation of the room or just some information and some nice views
Plus a audio tour with 3 languages (English Dutch German) shop small but has interesting items like local honey and some old famous 20% alcohol drink (4 flavours) there’s also local free parking close by near a nice lake

Muiderslot Castle, situated in the captivating landscapes of Belgium, is undeniably one of the most exquisite places I've had the pleasure to visit. From the moment I laid eyes on its majestic turrets and picturesque moat, I was transported to a fairytale realm of bygone eras. The meticulous preservation of its historic architecture, combined with the surrounding lush gardens, creates an ambiance that is truly enchanting. Exploring the interior is like stepping back in time, with each room revealing intricate details and stories of the past. The panoramic views from the castle's towers offer a breathtaking panorama that captures the essence of Belgium's natural beauty. Muiderslot Castle has effortlessly etched itself into my memory as a truly unforgettable and mesmerizing destination.

There is a lot of history and a lot of walkable grounds to visit! There are stairs and can be steep for some individuals but highly recommend. When visiting this fort I recommend taking the full tour and visiting all the rooms. Helps to have a bit of imagination!

It was a wonderful day trip experience. We liked it a lot. Castle has audio tour included in the ticket bought on the official website. It made the tour more immersive and interesting. Walking around the castle was also nice. The restrooms were very clean. It was not too crowded so we had plenty of opportunities for taking pictures. Recommended

I went because of the entrance fee was covered by the Go City Pass; in theory, transport is also covered by the Pass, but I wasn’t going in one of the days that the ferry was arranged for. Nevertheless, it was fairly easy to get from Amsterdam to Muiden by train and bus.

I loved the architecture and the guides offered. I managed to cover the castle grounds and a bit of the gardens in an hour, as the buses to Weesp Train Station were hourly.

This place is great because it can offer something for everyone: many children enjoyed the souvenirs and the castle, the elderly seemed to enjoy the cafe and the history lessons. Parents could also rest on the benches in the garden and watch their children spend their energy. Overall, fantastic opportunity for a little trip out of the business of Amsterdam.

We went on a Monday, so only the castle was open. But it was perfect. It's a bit of a walk from the bus. Seashell paved walkways. Audio tours are free. Lots of narrow stairs. Lots of history, well laid out.

Castle location is beautiful. Came here by bike on a sunny day and the journey was lovely.
You can visit inside + towers. Audioguide available for free with your ticket and entrance for free with museum card.
You can also walk around the garden.
Worth the visit!

We loved our visit! Amazing place with a rich history. So much to learn about the castle - why and how it was built, the quirky things that make it a great fortress, all with the help of an audio guide. I highly recommend going here - it's a real medieval castle!!

Fantastic, super well preserved castle from the middle ages with a great excibition covering all aspects of the every day life of a fortress. Its garden is also worth a visit.
