ealgisi Says: The first castle on this site was built around 1280 by Count Floris V of Holland, to control the estuary of the river Vecht into the former Zuidersea. And undoubtedly it would also have been used to raise toll from passing ships on the river Vecht, as this river flowed...

Getting there from Amsterdam by public transport
ATLC Says: Muiderslot is absolutely do-able from Amsterdam.From Amsterdam Amstel station, take line 110, 152 or 157, every 15 mins on weekdays and every half hour weekends. Trip takes 16 minutes.The walk through Muiden to the castle is delightful and easy (about 20 minutes).
ATLC Says: Unfortunately I had no time to browse, but this shop did look enticing! I'm guessing you'll find a lot of treasures here. Just the things you weren't looking for at all, or something you'd been searching for a while for.
ealgisi Says: In Holland roads bikes have the right on everybody and everything, usually they run on dedicated places at the side of roads, but it can happen that you find them on normal roads, specially in city center, so pay attention and watch carefully.
