[2025 Utrecht Attraction] Travel Guide for Kasteel De Haar (Updated Feb)

#myhiddengems I learnt the importance of the NS app, when I boarded a train headed towards vleuten, but the train didn't stop at Vleuten. So yes keep that in mind, not all trains do. Mine was a day try trip from Utrecht. A quick train ride to Vleuten and then a bus ride to the nearest stop of the castle. Walked 15 more minutes and there was the castle. One could also do this from from Amsterdam but may be the train ride would be 50-60 minutes. Any who, if the idea of the largest castle in the country and with a Disney like architecture appeals to you. You cannot miss the De Haar castle. It has a massive park surrounding it. You might want to not rush or have too many plans for the same day. I mean I took my time and easily spent close to 4 hours here. But even otherwise I would say 2 plus hours easily for the castle and garden alone. It's got several rooms and there will be information to take in. I paid two entry fees. One for the garden and one for castle. But I do remember it being under 30 euros altogether. This is a must add on your itinerary. #myhiddengems #summer #europe #netherlands #castle #garden #dehaar #summerdestinations #solotrip #disney #100waysoftravel

#europetrip If the weather is good, let's go visit the castle!! Recommended day trips around Utrecht: castle de haar! ! 📌 Kasteellaan 1, 3455 RR Utrecht, Netherlands 📌 Opening hours: 11:00 - 17:00 📌 Tickets: 19€ (free with museum card) 👉🏻 The castle tour takes about 1.5-2 hours. Enter from the basement, first visit the hall and kitchen, etc., and go upstairs to the bedrooms (p9-11). Each room has an explanation board or an interpreter, and grandparents are happy to answer questions or help take pictures. 👉🏻 I have to sigh that the life of European nobles is really luxurious to the extreme, with extremely complicated decorations, and even a small table dedicated to playing chess. There is a snooker room on the side of the hall. In this environment, I finally experienced why snooker is an aristocratic sport. 👉🏻The ballroom is hung with portraits of the castle owner and his wife. The grandfather of this room said that originally this was just a dilapidated castle. After the male owner married the female owner of an extraordinary family, he got a lot of money and then he had the current Castle de Haar. The castle can be traced back to nearly 500 years ago, but it has been renovated for about 100 years (the Dutch commented "It's a newcastle"). The male owner's grandson commented: my grandfather loves money more than lady.
