This castle is close to Amsterdam, but it's not that big and there isn't much to do outside of it…read more The GoCity Pass does cover the ferry from Amsterdam to Muiserslot but you have to reserve online. To proud pronounce Muiserslot, you have to say it as "Mouse-sir-slow" btw. Yes, the Castle is cool if you do the self guided tour and ferry ride but I finished about a hour early and got lunch there. You'll learn about this 11th century castle and its history where most of it was built up in the 1500s, and the various tools used to keep invaders out. It has never been attacked hence its great condition. As for the cafe at the bottom floor, the sandwich was actually pretty good and about €6 when I went. We had a little too much extra time so we actually walked to the garden where Schoolchildren grew their vegetables and read through everything, we finished so early. The ferry ride was pretty comfortable with drinks so if you're into getting a pint this is the way to go. Overall the only downside is that the way to and from via ferry takes a long time, almost the whole day, which if you want a faster trip take the car. Overall, a soldi day trip from Amsterdam.

Amsterdam and castles are two things that I didn't associate together; however, on a previous trip…read moreto Amsterdam, I was intrigued after reading the many different place where the IAmsterdam card was accepted that Muiderslot was included. Highlights/Tips: + First and foremost, this is not located in Amsterdam, but outside it. If you are using the IAmsterdam card, your transportation will not be covered. You will have to either pay each individual bus/tram used, or purchase a regional card. Also, expect a bit of a walk, because if getting dropped off by bus, you will need to walk into the town to the castle itself. It is an easy ~15 minute walk to the castle from the bus. + With your ticket, a guided tour is included. It is important to note that the tour is only offered in Dutch; however, they offer information in English during the tour. You will also need to take the voucher provided when you receive your ticket to the kiosk to determine the time of your guided tour. + There are self guided tours where you can follow a suggested route, such as the Medieval Tower Route. There are plaques and additional information (offered in Dutch/English). + Seemed to be very kid friendly and offered a quest type passport where a route/activities are to be done and stamps are collected as you go. Information can be found at the ticket office. + Locker can be found by the cafe/gift shop/restrooms to store backpacks + Outside the castle , you can explore a small garden area, as well as falconer that offers a display of his birds of prey during select days/time ** On extremely hot days, the dungeon is the place to stop for a cool dark place to beat the heat.
