7 Awesome Things to Do in Muiden, Muiden, Netherlands (B)

The entrance costs 13,5 euros which seemed a bit much at first but was totally worth it in the end. There is a guided tour included, and although only a few of us were English-speakers, and the tour guide explained things mostly in Dutch, she gave us a pamphlet with all info in English and explained the gist of it separately for us.
