Why Amersfoort is a leading destination for events

Amersfoort is an ideal location for events that aim to combine a historic setting with convenient accessibility. Conferences for regional organizations, corporate events in historic buildings, team-building days in and around the city, or staff parties set against an authentic Amersfoort backdrop.

The city also has a thriving business community in the service sector. Hotels with conference facilities in and around Amersfoort offer excellent facilities for multi-day events. And the proximity of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug provides opportunities for outdoor activities.

Imagine a conference at the Amersfoort Congress Center, a corporate event in the historic city center, or a team-building day in the surrounding countryside. Event planning in Amersfoort: historic, central, and charming.

Amersfoort offers venues that reflect its medieval character. The Amersfoort Congress Center is a modern conference center in the heart of the city. The Flehite Museums provide museum venues for exclusive events. Theater De Lieve Vrouw is a beautiful theater located in a historic building.

The Mondriaanhuis offers a creative, artistic setting. Several hotels in the Amersfoort area, such as the Van der Valk Hotel and the Bilderberg Hotel De Bergse Bossen (20 minutes away), offer excellent conference and banquet facilities. The Amersfoort Stadium (De Goffert) offers event facilities for larger events.
