What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Willemspoort is noted for its impressive monumental architecture and its role as a venue for lively events. However, visitors frequently point out the high parking costs, which are comparable to central Amsterdam, and the need to carefully check parking availability signs to avoid issues.
"7.5 Euro per hour same price as city center. Only advantage is they are charging every 2 minutes. There is WC as well."
