History
Amersfoort grew as a medieval market town with preserved sections of its city wall and the iconic Koppelpoort gate, making its layout ideal for a plot-driven walking game.
Conservation
Stick to marked streets, respect private courtyards, and avoid littering—historic centers are fragile and sustained by low-impact visitor behavior.
