Admire the world famous City Hall of Hilversum, created by Willem Marinus Dudok. Visit the residential areas and public buildings Dudok designed as the architect of this energetic, expanding city. Note their creative layout and unique details. And, include the Sanatorium Zonnestraal designed by the young architect Jan Duiker. The complex is now nominated for the World Heritage List.
The tour begins and ends at the Hilversum Central Station. There we will arrange your bike (and helmet) hire. After a brief introduction, I will take you past the architectural masterpieces of Dudok and Duiker. We complete our architecture trip with the famous Raadhuis (City Hall) by Dudok in his romantic cubism style. We can exchange our experiences in one of the old cafés in the centre of Hilversum before returning our bikes.
