Media Park

"Hilversum is a short train ride from Amsterdam, also within easy reach from Utrecht. Hilversum is where most tv and radio shows in The Netherlands are recorded. The so-called 'Mediapark' is therefore the main thing that drives people to visit Hilversum. There are a couple of museums about various media, but of course it's also possible to attend a recording! You can sign up to be in the audience of a show, or purchase a ticket to see a live performance. You might have to start learning some Dutch beforehand, though. In the town centre of Hilversum, there is a fun but often really busy foodhall. Other things to do would be to visit the city museum, a church, or the council house. Better yet, there is good walking through the "hei" (heath) around Hilversum. You might stumble across an old sanatorium while you're at it!"
