We took an Uber to this caste; it's accessible by public transportation, but it was only 20 mins from our hotel via car, so it was totally worth it for us. It was far more off the beaten track than I expected; Muiden is the only place I went to in the Netherlands where they were surprised to encounter English speakers, though everyone spoke it. The castle grounds are gorgeous; we went at the very end of September, and the gardens were still blooming. The inside of the castle was cool as well, and the audioguide was great. Unlike many castles/mansions I've toured, the vast majority of the space is open to tourists. There were great views of the town nearby, Fort Pampus, and even Amsterdam in the distance. There were great art displays, and some of the weaponry was even interactive. While it seems like foreigners don't really know about this spot, it seems like Dutch tourists did; we were among the firsts to enter, and by the time we left there were some sizeable groups coming in. I'm very glad I made the trip for this!

This is a really cool Dutch medieval castle with nice views. It doesn't take long to see. There are a couple of tour routes through the castle and then you get some nice views of the castle and the surrounding area walking on the dikes around the castle.

On a not so sunny day we decided to visit the castle. From the free parking P2 it is a 15-20 minutes walk through Muiden which is rather pittoresk. The castle looks impressive from the outside. In the courtyard you get an audio device that guides you along two tours. Each is just about right, not too long and not too short. Outside a nice garden.

Visited with my husband and adult daughter on a holiday from the U.K. staff were all extremely helpful and approachable and spoke impeccable English (wish I could speak any foreign language that well!). We took both audio tours which were really interesting. There are information boards in each room but the free audio guides give you so much more information. My daughter in particular enjoyed the additional environmental exhibition which was running in each room of the castle. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it really wasn’t very busy especially comparing it to a similar place would be in the U.K. however we are not complaining! We parked at P2 and walked to the castle which took about 15 minutes along the river and added to our enjoyment of the afternoon out.

We had a brilliant visit. It took a little while for us to get there from Amsterdam central (a train to Weesp and then the 110 bus followed by a short walk). The town itself is really cute and there’s a lovely little coffee shop by the lock. The castle is fantastic…. Even complete with a real moat! The audio guide is a must as there isn’t much to read so if you want to learn anything, you need the guide (which is free). I’d also like to mention the man at the audio guide info point as he was really kind, friendly and helpful! There’s lots to see and learn… overall it should take you about a hour and a half to properly see everything! Would recommend!
