Find a pharmacy in Amersfoort
Amersfoort, a railway hub of roughly 160,000 residents in the province of Utrecht, supports a dense pharmacy network shaped by its mix of historic centre living, postwar expansion districts, and a steady commuter flow toward Utrecht and the Randstad. PillsCard lists 12 verified pharmacies serving the city, distributed across the medieval binnenstad, the Vathorst and Nieuwland growth zones to the north, and the established neighbourhoods of Kattenbroek, Liendert, and Zielhorst. The clientele is mixed: long-standing Dutch families, a sizeable Moroccan and Turkish community in Soesterkwartier and Liendert, expatriates linked to nearby logistics and tech employers, and patients referred in from smaller Eemland villages. Most outlets sit inside or beside a gezondheidscentrum, which keeps GP, pharmacy, and physiotherapy contact within a single building.
The Amersfoort market is fragmented rather than chain-dominated, with independents and cooperative-chain affiliates trading side by side. Service Apotheek Kattenbroek and Apotheek Zielhorst anchor the eastern ring districts, while Apotheek Nieuwland and Apotheek Liendert handle high-volume repeat prescriptions for the postwar housing belts. Boots Apotheek Vermeer brings the Anglo-Dutch chain footprint into the central shopping area, and Benu operates branches that integrate with national e-prescribing. Gezondheidscentrum Vondelplein illustrates the city's preference for co-located primary care. Out-of-hours dispensing is consolidated at Dienstapotheek Eemland, sited next to Meander Medisch Centrum, which functions as the single overnight node for the surrounding municipalities of Leusden, Soest, Baarn, and Bunschoten.
