camlet:“The prototype of Howl's Moving Castle is still very large. Because it is a castle that has been used all the time, it is still very modern and luxurious. There are explanation boards to use. There are actually live NPCs in each room. If you are interested enough, you can go up and chat to learn about the story of this castle.”

sculptor:“The Oudegracht runs through the city center of the ancient Dutch city of Utrecht, starting in the southeast of the city. Here, the original main riverbed of the Rhine and a new main canal that reconnects Utrecht to the Rhine separate, and the old canal merges with the original moat of the fortified town, from where it enters the center of town.”

Please contact the attraction to confirm specific opening hours
Anonymous user:“Buy a cup of coffee or tea before boarding and enjoy your leisure time. Feel the customs and customs of Amsterdam on the water, see historical relics, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beam bridge, and listen to the past and present. Before boarding, I thought what was there to see in Amsterdam. After the boat started: this experience was still good, and I could calm down and savor life. The Prince's Canal, Anne's House, West Church, "Dentures of Amsterdam", whether serious, deep, or funny, RMB 127 is still worth it. This boat is relatively basic and cost-effective; you can also try a more expensive boat full of colorful flower decorations, take pictures, and the most important thing is that there are wine waiters on the boat, and you can order wine/drinks.”

Akane-Japanese traveller:“There are lots of cute exhibits! As Miffy is popular among Japanese people, many of the exhibits have Japanese translations. The place is perfect for families with children, as it is surrounded by a cute and warm atmosphere from start to finish. Tickets can be purchased at the souvenir shop opposite. There is also a one-of-a-kind Miffy traffic light a little distance away, so be sure to check it out!”

sculptor:“The Domkerk Cathedral in Utrecht, Netherlands, has a 112-meter-high tower. This Gothic cathedral was once the largest church in the Netherlands, but the nave collapsed in a storm in 1674 and was never rebuilt, isolating the tower from the east end. The tower is now a symbol of the city.”

Griftpark1

Griftpark1

4.6/5258 Reviews
Open 17:30-21:00
TheForkUser:“We had a lovely view over the water, and the ribs were really nice. We started off with some bread, which was very high quality and was a lot more then we anticipated. The location was very beautiful, and the food was of amazing quality. We did however explicitly ask (twice) to not serve us the ribs until we finished the bread starter, and the ribs came before we finished the bread starter anyway. It turned out fine in the end, since it was a lot of food, and we couldn’t finish it all, but I still think they should’ve asked, since we put emphasis on in twice.”
