FIRST TIME IN AMERSFOORT 🇳🇱 (one day in amersfoort, the netherlands)

In this episode, Michelle and Alex explore the historic, picturesque, and delicious city of Amersfoort, in the Netherlands. In addition to seeing the sights (including the famous Koppelpoort), they look for unique Amersfoort treats (like a chocolate with a design from famous artist Piet Mondrian), and wrap things up with a dinner of Dutch snacks made from locally sourced ingredients.

If you're visiting the Netherlands, definitely consider spending one day in Amersfoort, as it's a very easy day trip from Amsterdam (or really anywhere in the Netherlands).

WHO IS BUNCHARTED?

We're Michelle and Alex, a travel-obsessed American couple living abroad in the Netherlands.

In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and... yeah, that didn't happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change, packing up our lives (and our cats 🐈), moving from Austin, Texas, to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. Subscribe for new videos like this every week!
