Houten

Houten has three centres with shops and night life. First comes the small-scale Old Village with its cosy terraces and eateries on the square between the churches. The other two centres in Houten are Het Rond and Castellum in Houten South. From these two centres, trains depart in all directions every 15 minutes during the day.

Houten is a real bicycle-focused community. It belongs to the leading group of Dutch towns whose residents more often use bikes than cars for short journeys. Houten therefore carries the title 'Cycling Town of the Netherlands' with great pride.
