4. 4.5 Galerie Peter Leen XL (9 reviews)
   - hidden art gem near the town center of Breukelen: beauty for the eye
   Spent 1-2 hours Art Galleries
   
   
   The town center of Breukelen is marked by the 'Kerkbrink' where the weekly market is (on Fridays), the restaurants, the bookshop+tourist office et cetera. If you come from the Kerkbrink and turn left at the end this gallery is in a very short walking distance. It is a hidden gem. The pictures will tell the story. When in Breukelen and interested in art, don't skip this place! See more..
   
5. 4.5 De 15de eeuwse Pieterskerk van Breukelen (9 reviews)
   - Great church with some special elements
   Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   This as a small cathedral (protestant) church (14th century) with some special elements: a tomb in the choir and lots of memorial boards, all related to the family living at the time at Nyenrode. The organ is a beautiful Batz baroque organ, which can sometimes be heard during a concert. Not normally opened for visits. Only during concerts and the Dutch Monuments Day. See more..
   
6. 4.5 Breukelen Tourist Office (4 reviews)
   - small tourist information section in this nice bookshop
   Spent < 1 hour Visitor Centers

7. 4.0 wandelpark van Ridderhofstad Gunterstein uit 1680 (3 reviews)
   - nice park for a stroll, the walk up to it along the road is not as nice
   Spent < 1 hour Parks
   
   
   In a bend of the Laan van Gunterstein is the public entrance to this park. It is lovely with meadows and trees. The way up to it is not so nice because it is a shared road with pedestrians, people riding their bike, motorcycles and cars have to share the road. As a pedestrian you are the weakest part of traffic. The road is relatively narrow and when cars coming from both ways, it is kind of scary. The park itself is good for a relaxing walk. The public part is separated by a small 'no entrance' sign on a chain from the part that is restricted because it is in use by the family that owns the park and the castle. It is great that the family does share the park with the public. Chapeau! The rating 'average' is because of the scary road (for pedestrians) to the park and the lack of parking (so you have to walk to get there; and that is scary). See more..
   
8. 3.5 Kasteel Nijenrode (8 reviews)
   - Amazing
   Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings
   
   
   The castle is right amidst nature, still carries the grandeur of 13th Century. Rose Garden and little water channel sorrounding the castle adds up. See more..
   
9. 3.0 Park Boom en Bosch (14 reviews)
   - quiet park in a quiet town; extras in Fall and Summer: Dutch poffertjes/music
   Spent < 1 hour Parks
   
   
   This is a nice little park in the town of Breukelen. It is rather small, but so is the town. There are some benches, wooded area a lawn and you can walk around the 'Boom en Bosch' building (former city hall) to get to the garden that is facing the river Vecht. That is a beautiful part of it. Also with additional seating. In the Fall/Autumn there is the 'poffertjeskraam' that serves delicious Dutch poffertjes (stacks of tiny pancakes with butter and powdered sugar). Yummy! And in the summer a foundation organizes weekly music performances in the park on Sunday. That is mainly in July and August. They even will provide garden chairs to sit in and enjoy the music. The concerts are free. There is food/drinks for sale and a lottery for which you can buy tickets in the intermission. Usually the first performance is from 2pm to 3pm and the second performance is from 3:15pm to 4pm(ish). Both Fall and Summer activities are a bonus to going to this park. See more..
