Things to do in Hilversum

  1. DoCinema

    Filmtheater Hilversum

    A modern art house cinema and wine bar. Films are international productions, many in English, French, Spanish or Scandinavian languages. Films are broadcast in the original language and subtitled in Dutch. It's a modern venue with the newest technologies.

    13:00-00:00 daily€8.50

  2. DoTheatre

    De Vorstin

    When De Vorstin opened in September 2010, it became an instant fan favourite. A strikingly modern interior, lively ambiance and acclaimed acoustics make it worthwhile to catch a live concert here. With a variable schedule, it's best to check the website for upcoming performances and times. While it's usually possible to book tickets at the door, tickets are more expensive and might be sold out, so it's better order in advance. Because of the acoustics, it regularly hosts televised singing competitions, such as the original first season of "The Voice of Holland", a television programme that originated in Hilversum and subsequently became popular in other countries.

Famous players like Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer and Miguel Ángel Jiménez won the tournament on these fields. In 2003, Maarten Lafeber became the second Dutch player to win the Dutch Open, and the first and yet only one to do so in Hilversum. If you want to play here, you must adhere to the strict regulations. If you're not a member, you can only play here a maximum of six times a year. You must be a member of an NGF-affiliated golf club in your home country and show proof of a maximum exact handicap of 24. Always make a reservation beforehand at the caddiemaster.
