Naarden, Outside Amsterdam
Star-shaped and surrounded by water
This north Holland town, 40 minutes east of Amsterdam, is like nowhere you’ve ever been before. Fully fortified, it is built in the shape of a star, with walls and a moat around it. Explore its heritage at the Fortress Museum, stroll through the streets to discover a 14th century church or take a boat trip around the fortifications to admire them up close.
