2. De Hoge Veluwe National Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,027 reviews
De Hoge Veluwe National Park is - partly due to the variety of landscapes - the most surprising national park in the Netherlands. The Park is famous for its rare animal and plant species. There are excellent possibilities for wildlife observation in the Park. With over 40 kilometers of paved cycle paths, free to use White Bicycles and a lot of different walking routes, the Park offers something for everyone. The Kröller-Müller Museum - located in the center of the Park - shows works of great masters like Van Gogh, Picasso and Mondriaan. The visitor will also come across a number of monuments by famous architects Berlage and Van de Velde in the Park. The famous country residence/museum Jachthuis Sint Hubertus is perhaps the most impressive example. The special combination of nature and art guarantees a Park with a high recreational and educational value. Due to the high natural value, the area is also assessed by researchers as very valuable.

Just entering the de Hoge Veluwe National Park is part of the thrill. You find yourself immersed in a forest, a real Dutch forest populated by animals, birds and beautiful trees. In addition there are some 1700 bicycles for visitors to ride, free of charge, on the kilometers of excellent bike paths. Include the fact that a first class art museum, sculpture garden and historic castle-like home are part of the deal and you have a first class tourist attraction worthy of a whole day's visit.

Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. The palace is currently being renovated and will be re-opened in 2021, but you are more than welcome to the gardens, stables, restaurants and our events!
Reviewed By LouiseJ1390 - Denmark, null
We went to see the castle during this Summer's heatwave in Holland. The castle was closed due to comprehensive restoration work, which will end with the opening of a modern museum at the castle grounds in 2021, but the gardens and the rooftop terrace were open. When you're in, a lift takes you to the roof, from where the amazing garden opens in all its splendor. The hedges and flowers in the garden are laid out in intricate patterns, and around the garden you'll find various sculptures in relation to myths and sculptures from classical antiquity. Beautiful fountains dot the grounds, and you can spend quite some time wandering around looking at all the various details in the flowers, sculptures and fountains. The garden is incredibly well kept. The palace is usually closed on Mondays, although there may be exceptions. The price of an adult ticket is 8,5 euro.

Kroller Muller Museum features one of the largest Van Gogh collections and the largest sculpture garden in Europe.
Reviewed By Eestigirl - Leavenworth, United States
What a gem! We had no idea of what to expect, but the delightful museum in the midst of a forested Park was a real find. In addition to the extensive Van Gogh collection (with some wonderful pieces) the Kroller Muller Museum also has a nice collection of other impressionists. We also loved the sculpture garden with its meandering paths, trails to high points all to display interesting modern art in a beautiful setting.

We found this place quite by accident whilst looking for things to do in the area whilst on holiday and I can honestly say it was one of the highlights of our holiday. It is a living museum showing the history of Dutch farming, craftsmen and lots more besides. The majority of the buildings are original and have been relocated to this place from their original sites throughout he country, some of which were over 100years old. There was so much to see and do, lots of beautiful windmills and and there were signs in English explaining the history of everything. There was an ice rink as it was winter and a fairground with lots of little stalls selling things to eat and drink. A old style tram was available to go around the place if you didn't want to walk. An amazing place which we would definitely go back to.

The museum was completely renewed in 2019/2020. The monumental Hartenstein Villa was the headquarters of the British Airborne Division during the Battle of Arnhem (1944). Here, the stories of British, Polish and German soldiers come to life. Civilians also play an important role. Come and see our collection of authentic weaponry, documents, footage and photographs. The new multilingual audio tour provides 50 exhibits with personal background stories. Historian and bestseller author Antony Beevor voiced the English audio tour. In the underground Airborne Experience you will be transported into the very midst of the battle.

Very friendly and warm welcome in the fully renewed airborne museum. Well documented, top information through the audio system that one receives by taking the ticket. The airborne experience underneath in the sub-floor is great exposition and adventure.The house with such a history los a bit of it's charms due to the renovtion but it is ready for the future now. It is focused on the British airborne attack, for the US paratrooper endeavours one has to see other museums in their respective area's of operations. After the museum visit, take a walk in the park to see the memorials, the Sherman tank and anti-tank gun and if you have time, walk the perimeter to the Lonsdale ( the old ) church down to the river Rhine.

Kids can get their hands ‘dirty’ when cooking gingerbread cookies. Interesting displays about baking and the baker’s (family) life in the old days. The life bread demo was fun to watch and kept everyone entertained for quite some time. Treasure hunts available for different ages. The layout with multiple buildings is funny and embers the museum in the old streets of Hattem. The typical ‘poffertjes’ are a treat after the tour.

What is it like to be blind or partially sighted? You can read about it or someone can tell you about it from their own experience, but during a visit to muZIEum (muSEEum) you will experience it yourself. Enter a world in which your other senses - hearing, smell, touch and taste - suddenly play a far more important role than you are used to.

Me and my sister grew up in Nijmegen, but had nog done the outside experience from the Muzieum yet. We do recommend it. They have very nice guides who have really bad sight who come with you and they tell you their story. You can ask all your questions. Also their is a seeing guide who comes as well. They show you around and with the VR glasses on you can experience different eye illnesses and how it is to live and walk with such an illness. You have your stick to feel the ground. An interesting experience everyone should do. It is a real eye opener because you get to know things you otherwise would never think about. Why certain decisions are made etc.
