Amersfoort is a municipality and the second largest city of the province of Utrecht in central Netherlands.
The roughly circular historic centre is the main attraction of Amersfoort. The Eem river runs diagonally through the old city, south-east to northwest, from the Monnickendam to the Koppelpoort. It is crossed at right angles by the Langestraat, part of the old highway from Utrecht to Zwolle, and still the main street. The station is on the west side, and the Town Hall is at the western edge of the old city, on the road to the station. Most of the office buildings in the centre are located on or near this road. Apart from the Langestraat, most of the shopping streets are on the west side of the centre also. Specific sights include:
- the remains of the second , which is still intact on much of the eastern side, and the water gate on the south.
- the Koppelpoort - probably the best preserved city gate in the country, a dual water and road entrance to the city, built over the river Eem.
- Amersfoortse Kei - this glacial boulder is the symbol for the city. A 17th-century nobleman and poet persuaded 400 inhabitants to drag the stone to Amersfoort, for beer, just to show they would do something useless. The incident made the city the butt of jokes, and it buried the stone for centuries, out of shame. In 1903 the city felt sufficiently rehabilitated to dig it up again, and it became its symbol. In fact, the city started to collect boulders, gifts from other cities: they are displayed on the inner ring road, along the line of the old city wall.
- Muurhuizen or wall houses, built on the first mediaeval city wall. They back onto the canal along 't Zand, Weverssingel, Zuidsingel and Westsingel.
- the Onze Lieve Vrouwe tower, the former cathedral spire. You can climb the 364 steps on a guided tour, Tuesday to Sunday, every hour from 11.00 to 17.00, from July to mid-September, € 4.
- the , the largest church, on the main square, Hof, with the old Town Hall.
