A guided city tour through the historical city centre with a Gilde Amersfoort guide is a definite must-do. These enthusiastic guides really love to take you through the city and can tell you everything about the city and its origins. You don’t have to book a tour; you can just join one. These tours are available in different languages, but you need to book if you require a language other than Dutch.

Discover Eemland by bike and by boat. You will slowly sail out, passing houseboats moored on the banks. Excellent chance to experience the whole city from another perspective. When you arrive at a dock, simply pick the cycle route of your choice and cycle into nature.

Simply put, Iceland’s famous Golden Circle is a popular route between three of the island's most visited attractions. Usually done as a day trip, the route starts in Reykjavik and takes you south and inland, to the Þingvellir National Park. There you enter the Geyser geothermal area with the Strokkur Geyser being most eager of the bunch. Finally, you arrive at to the 32-metre tall Gullfoss waterfall in the canyon of the roaring Hvítá river. Many tour agents and travellers themselves like to make extra stops along the way to see a geothermal power plant or spend a few hours at one of the spas. You could rent a car and drive between the landmarks at your own speed. In summer, you could even use the long daylight hours to avoid the crowds that tend to come earlier in the day. If you can pick your own route, don't miss the Kerid Crater Lake — a scenic lake that occupies a 3,000 years old volcanic crater that you can easily reach on foot.
