The brightest tourist attraction of Amersfoort is the beautiful Toren Tower. Once the 94-meter-high Woman's Tower was part of a large-scale construction - the Lange Jan cathedral. Unfortunately, only one tower survived from the beautiful church, which doesn't prevent it from looking very impressive. The tower is located on the Lieve Vrouwe Kerkhof square - the main and most beautiful square of the city. No less interesting religious landmark is the Cathedral of St. Joris. The church built in the 14th century has been perfectly preserved to the present day. Not only its excellent appearance but also an exquisite decoration of halls should be appreciated by tourists.
An important historic landmark is the Koppelpoort Towers and an ancient gate located next to them, which once served as an entrance to the city. Looking at part of the surviving city wall, you can see the ancient gates of Kamperbinnen and Monnickendam. The first was built in the middle of the 13th century, and the second - two centuries later. The best way to appreciate the panoramic view of the picturesque city is to take a balloon ride. Such flights are extremely popular among visitors to Amersfoort. The city has a specially-equipped platform from which huge colorful balloons take off. The so-called Air Tour became a kind of ritual, which every traveler should observe. For those who are afraid of heights, there is no less attractive option - to ride a boat along the city canals and appreciate its unique architectural sights.
