What to do and see in Arnhem, Gelderland Province: The Best Outdoor Activities

November 26, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

A sizable city in its own right, Arnhem is best known today as the site of one of the most famous battles of World War II. Given city rights in 1233, it has long been at the center of conflicts because of its strategic location on the banks of the Rhine River. The Battle of Arnhem, part of Operation Market Garden, was fought in September 1944. Advancing Allied forces, in large part due to a series of mistakes, failed to secure a key bridge and suffered defeat, delaying the Allied advance into Germany until the following spring. The 1977 movie "A Bridge Too Far" was based on the events here.

Burgers' Zoo and Safaripark

On March 31, 1913, Faisanterie Buitenlust, the forerunner of the current modern animal park Burgers' Zoo, opens its doors to the public for the first time. Since its foundation by Johan Burgers, the first owner and the one who named the animal park in Arnhem, the park has always remained a real family business. Already from its inception the zoo caused a sensation due to its daring new organisation, which naturally is in the way the animals' accommodations are shaped as well as in the way the experiences for the visitors are created. Burgers' Zoo has a rich history, which has shaped the zoo into the way it is today, and as you can still find it now in the wooded area just north of Arnhem.

Reviewed By Aljosha - Bochum, Germany

We always enjoy a trip to the Zoo so burgers zoo was the logical conclusion for our next destination. Overall a lovely trip with amazing different areas. Be ready to stay for 5-6 hours for a relaxed walkthrough. Highlights:Djungle and mangrove area.
