24 Hours in Hilversum

Every city has something to experience and, above all, something to eat. The glamorous Hillywood is no exception. From breakfast to an overnight stay: with these tips, you can spend your 24 hours eating your way through Hilversum.

Breakfast

Have it at Your Coffee. It makes sense that coffee lovers feel at home here, but tea lovers will also be delighted with Your Coffee, as there are no fewer than nineteen types of tea. And what about the food? Extra-thick toasted sandwiches, a generously filled breakfast platter or a substantial salad.

Lunch

Hilversum also has its own food hall. At Foodhal Mout, you can take a culinary trip around the world. From dim sum to Spanish and from Italian to Vietnamese. An added bonus: after you place your order, the food is brought to your table. That way, you can stay seated with your friends. In the mood for a beer? Take a seat at the tap tables and fill your glass with genuine Gooisch beer. There’s a good chance you’ll get some extra entertainment too, as there’s live music regularly.

Wine

From Thursday through Saturday, you can raise a glass at Wijnbar Basz . Aren’t you in Hilversum on one of those days? Then Wijnbar Vida, with pintxos and quite a few bitters, is a good option.

Dinner

After a long day of eating, it’s naturally time to… eat. End your day on a delicious note at Chef aan de Werf in an industrial warehouse at the former municipal works yard. The menu features small dishes costing €12 each. Ideal for sharing—or for keeping all to yourself.

More in the mood for Asian food? Then you’re in the right place in Hilversum. For example, take a seat at Royal Mandarin for Chinese haute cuisine, or visit Spandershoeve, the oldest Indonesian restaurant in the Netherlands, for timelessly good food.

Cocktails

.. and dance the night away at Club Rex.

Sleeping

End your day in Gooisch style and sink into the soft beds of Villa Trompenberg in the most beautiful part of the city. Without paying an absurd amount, you can still enjoy Gooisch luxury here. Another bonus: you can rent bicycles here to explore the area.
