In between, the locks of 1673 and a lunch inside a 19th-century fort.

## With children or in the rain

With children, the castle and the Vestingmuseum are the heart of the day; the Grote Kerk can be skipped. If it rains, the two museums are indoors and the rampart walk is shortened. From spring to autumn you can swap Naarden for the boat to the island of Pampus, which leaves from Muiden.
