Murat her zamanki gibi harikasın, keep it up! 🤘

Hilversum remains me a lot of my current hometown Zoetermeer, it has the same ambiance, only there are actually two centres in Zoetermeer, the new centrum, and the old "dorp". Apeldoorn is nice too my sister lives there and I actually went to school there.You should also consider Zwolle, as a "hanzestad" it has a great history.

noice a week day evening walk outside amsterdam and the first I watched about Hilversum. Never been to that place yet.

Regarding the ns trein app there is a direct train from amsterdam centraal to hilversum heading to amersfoort

[martindejong]

the "special stage" as you called it is used for musical bands.

[carlavolkers]

Born and lived there the first 24 years of my life

Hilversum is no longer as lively as 25 years ago. The Italian Restaurante Lorenza you mentioned is one of faves for many years, and the Argentina restaurant which is famous for their ribs is still good but it was way better 25 years ago . ABN AMRO same structure as I far as I could remember. Kerkbrink has changed significantly, it just used to be the museum, the kerk and an open space 25 years ago.Many new buildings have sprouted over that last 2 decades.

[martindejong]

I think Museum Hilversum is another example of a "waag", it looks like one!. And the "St. Matthew Passion" is a Passion, a well know piece of christian inspired music, by Bach. It lasts about 3 hours, and is intended to be performed at Good Friday vesper services. So its actually church music!

David from America here!!! I really enjoyed going through Hilversum. It looked more awesome than I imagined. I only knew of Hilversum from the train because it always zoomed past going to Bussum. Does Hilversum have a Media Markt to go with Hilversum Media Park???

[davidvilchez]

Hi Murat! Can you please visit Naarden one day maybe Delft as well? I know you went to Delft before but would like a refresh if possible. I havent been to Naarden and would like to go my next visit to the NL. Volendam was also a really cool village as well. Also have you considered taking trips to Germany or Belgium sense they are so close to the NL you can just take a train from Weesp

[martindejong]

You will see that (in the Netherlands) the church and bars go hand in hand, wherever there is a church, you will find drinking opportunities like bars and cafe's, as the Dutch in the past after going to church always went straight to the nearest cafe or bar.

I've missed the last two weeks of walking. I just moved to Portland OR. I think my time difference with NL is now 8 hours earlier. Is that right?

[martindejong]

Murat, did you never hear of a "broodje kroket", a kroket it a white bun? Its a common way to eat a kroket in the Netherlands. This is just the FEBO variety, they have "stolen" the hamburger bun with a round flat kroket idea from McDonalds that had a "McKroket" for a short while.

this is my hometown. but not the way i remember it to be. i never ever wanna go there ever again. the other side of the tracks are more interesting, with a few foreign shops. a laundry service and a hammam.

Too many noisy petrol driven scooters in Hilversum. They ruin the peace of the place.
