About Spoorwegmuseum

Spoorwegmuseum is the national railway museum of the Netherlands, housed in the old Maliebaan station of 1874, a brick terminus that traded passengers for a collection. Around sixty locomotives and carriages fill the halls and yard, from the earliest Dutch steam engines through interwar electrics to a Thalys nose and the royal train used by the House of Orange. Since a major reconstruction in 2005, four themed worlds have been built inside and around the sheds: the birth of the railways in 1839 on the first Dutch line between Amsterdam and Haarlem, a dark theatre ride through the great international expresses, the physics of steam, fire and water, and the modern network of signals and working railways. Visitors come because the story told here about land, water, engineering and mobility is the story of how the Netherlands was assembled, and because the museum works as both a serious collection and a small indoor theme park. A shuttle train brings you there.

Tips for staying near Spoorwegmuseum

  • The museum fills a whole afternoon, so start early enough to see the four themed worlds as well as the locomotives and carriages in the halls and yard.
  • On busy days steam demonstrations run in the outdoor yard alongside the miniature railway, which draws crowds; plan the indoor worlds around them.
  • Guests at Hotel 26, B&B Limes Oudwijk, Large Historical Apartment & Canal Terrace, Court Hotel Utrecht City Centre and City centre Loft on the historic Canal can leave the car parked and walk to the museum.
  • Book early if you want a room with a kitchen, since several of the closest properties, including De Verrassing and City centre Loft on the historic Canal, offer one.
  • Hotel Beijers, Werfkelder aan de Oudegracht and Hotel 26 hold the strongest guest scores here, so their rooms go first for museum weekends.
