Nice little castle in a small peaceful town. You will need about a couple of hours if you want to relax and walk around. Best way to reach is to take the sprinter from Amsterdam to Weesp and bus 110 to Muiderslot. 10 minutes walk from the bus stop. Recommend highly for family with kids.

Very easy to get to using train and bus. I went early at 11 am. Had the place to myself of course it’s February not exactly prime tourist season. There is a snack shop there or bring your own. There are a few tables to eat at overlooking the castle. Was just a wonderful experience eating and relaxing looking at the castle and watching the geese fly over. And the staff are very friendly and helpful. Very nice people.

Great historic castle with beautiful gardens. Very interesting self guided tour in many languages so you can see the castle at your own speed. It was very cold the day we visited. One half of the castle has period furniture. You get to go up steep winding stairs to the turrets which is really cool!

This was an out of the way place to get to but relatively easy via train, bus and walking. The day we visited was very quite. Castle with moat was very impressive. Absolute gem. The village of Muirden was fantastic and very picturesque with canal and locks. One of the best kept secrets of Amsterdam

Great way to spend the day. The town is very beautiful and small. The sailing boat views and lots of yachts around. 13th century castle is preserved very well and the rooms are decorated so we can visualize the purpose of rooms and chambers.

This is an excellent castle to visit if you could only see one. It is picturesque, well maintained, it has an interesting history and was a "working" castle built for defense and protection. Numerous rooms are furnished and the audio guides provide a great narrative.

Fantastic historical castle, you actually get to walk up ancient stair cases into the towers. Very convenient to Amsterdam and the little town of Muiden is quite charming as well. You can get here by bus and train but I don't recommend it due to the bus schedule. I would suggest getting a taxi or uber or driving here.

Just a delightful place to visit! We were on a 'spur of the moment' tour to the castle and were SO glad we did do it. Muiden is a delightful little place in its own right. Had coffee and apple cake there after our castle visit as such a short walk from castle. Setting is picture postcard for the castle. On a stonking sunny day it looked idylic! Plenty to see in the rooms but not so big you get overwhelmed. SO sad the painting of the twins in the bedroom with one looking sickly... sadly she died.... Good views of the gardens and surrounding area from the battlements. Stairs up the tower were SO worn.... gave a real feel of age to the castle! The gardens were lovely to walk around too. HIGHLY recommend visiting this little gem of a place, guarentee you wont be disappinted!

This castle is the real deal, feels very medieval. Audio guides are available inside the castle gates which adds to the experience and provides a greater sense of the people who occupied the castle and each of the individual rooms. Slightly challenging to get to from Amsterdam (had to take a train to weesp, then the 110 bus to Muiden centrum before walking the rest - approx. 45 minutes in total, not counting the waiting time between the train and the bus). However, definitely worth a visit!

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!
