Munttoren

A visit to the Munttoren in Amsterdam can be a delightful and educational experience for kids, especially those with curious minds and an interest in history or architecture. The tower, with its tall, narrow structure and iconic clock faces, sparks imagination as children learn about its origins as part of the city’s medieval walls. They can hear stories about how the tower got its name from the time it was used to mint coins, turning a simple sightseeing stop into a mini adventure through time.
