Naarden
From World travel guide
Naarden is small town surrounded by large 17th-century fortifications, among the best preserved in Europe. The town centre itself has kept its historic character. Naarden is about 15 km east of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Outside the fortifications, the town expanded southward, and merged into one urban area with Bussum.
