El edificio donde una broma arquitectónica esconde guerras económicas, espías esculpidos y un baño que casi quiebra al ayuntamiento
Town Hall offers guided tours on Saturdays at 2:00 PM and Sundays at 1:00 PM, each lasting one hour; booking in advance is recommended. For updated times and reservations, check the official Hilversum tourism website or call +31 35 629 46 11.
Guided tours cost around €7.50 for adults and €5 for children; sometimes there are free options on special days. Check current prices on the Visit Hilversum website, as they may vary.
A guided tour lasts about 1 hour, which is ideal for exploring the interior without rushing. If you want exterior photos or plan to combine it with a walk, allow about 1.5 hours in total.
Designed by architect Willem Marinus Dudok in 1931, it is a masterpiece of the New Objectivity and Art Deco styles and has been designated a national monument. It represents the golden age of Dutch architecture and symbolizes Hilversum’s civic pride.
Spring (April to June) or autumn are ideal thanks to pleasant weather and fewer tourists; go in the afternoon for natural light in photos. Avoid rainy weekends and check the weather at hilversum.nl.
This historic building has partial accessibility, with a ramp at the main entrance and an elevator for most areas, but some parts have stairs. Contact +31 35 629 46 11 for specific details or assistance.
Just a few minutes away on foot are Dudok Park, Villa Ru Paré (another Dudok work), and the Media Park with radio studios. Explore the historic center or rent a bike to get around easily.
Book online in advance, wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring a camera for the striking towers and details. Pair your visit with a coffee in the center and download the Visit Hilversum app for more tips.
